  February 5, 2014 - Rather intense fruity nose with dark berries (blackcurrants, plums) and some lactic notes. Med. body. Dark berries on the palate with some oak present, but not offensive. Quite crunchy, tannic, fresh, very moderately spicy. Very good, but slightly bitter oakiness is still a bit disturbing, especially in the aftertaste.

  April 27, 2013 - 20 min dekantiert ca. 18 Grad
  1. Nase: Kaffee etwas Vanille breit und sehr sauber, Mineralik und Erde, Tabak
  2. Nase: Schokolade Brombeere
  Gaumen: Amareno Kirsche, Mineralik, sehr Edel und sehr voller Körper, langer Abgang.
  Optimale erste Reife ohne Ecken und Kanten, kann sicher nochmals 8 Jahre sehr gut bestehen.
  Mit 13 Vol % für einen Österreicher eher am unteren Band in dieser Qallitätsklasse, - das schaffen sonst nur die Franzosen im Bordeaux - Ja so mag ich's !

  September 28, 2009 - This bottled was not oxidized as the last one and showed the true potential of this wine. It's very dark purple colored and offers lots of tobacco, funghi and forest soil, quality toasted oak notes and dark fruits on the nose. Also the palate is of dark character, initially quite oaky, then gives way to clean cherry notes mixed with tons of tobacco and smoke. A hint bitter and short on the finish maybe. Smooth tannins indicate good drinkability, despite the dark tones that currently cover some of the fruit. A complex wine, but I find the oak is a little overdone. Maybe that will integrate further. While drinking this, I was constantly thinking of walking through the cellars of an old medieval castle during a foggy autumn evening. Very gothic style. - 90 points

  June 26, 2009 - Partly oxidative bottle. Aged Zweigelt aromatics, but also the palate is dominated by oxidative notes. Its a pitty, as this seems to have been a mouthfilling and complex wine. Not the first bottle with oxidation problems from Umathum/Zantho
