Among the best austrian reds ever ! Wonderful cherry fruit and the big herb basket! After 2 h of decanting its so ready to drink! So very fresh and delicious. Will improve with time. Need more !!! 95 +

Awesome! This is Northern Rhône Syrah pure from Burgenland, Austria. Nose is very fresh, somehow stony, a bit Pinot-styled and very peppery. The palate is Syrah pleasure pure. Elegance, coolness, expressive fruit. What a great effort!

In advance: a fantastic wine. The nose smells like a bag full of fresh peppers of different varieties (also green pepper). It has a opulent intensity. It could originate from Ermitage or Cote Rotie. Also show up -for me undefinable- but fine spices with a minimal touch of strawberry in the nose. On the palate, this massively intense wine shows an incomprehensible length with deep fruit (red forest berries). The pepper does not leave us - typical for the Syrah grapes. It tastes like an essence of a wine. Great!
Blind tasting of wines from Northern Rhône. The pirate. Beautiful and rather lavish bouquet of cherries, strawberries, sous bois, red currants, licorice, cloves, gingerbread and leather. A medium-bodied wine, with medium-plus, ripe tannins and lively acid, which cater for an excellent drive and structure in the mouth. Notes of cherries, red fruits and licorice coat the palate and carry through the rather long-lasting finish. Nice complexity and as a wine a simply wonderfully harmonious whole.
Blindverkostung Nördliche Rhône. Der Pirat. In der Nase entdecke ich Aromen von Kirsche, Erdebeere, sous bois, roter Johannisbeere, Lakritz, Nelke, Pfefferkuchen und Leder. Herrliches, eher verschwenderisches Bouquet. Im Mund besitzt dieser Wein eine tolle Struktur und Trinkfluss, mit schöner, trinkanimierender Säure und mittleren+, reifen Tanninen. Noten von Kirsche, roten Früchten und Lakritz am Gaumen. Sehr langer Nachhall. Komplex und wirkt insgesamt wunderbar stimmig.
