The Lagrein Lindenburg is a fully packed Lagrein displaying vivid arrays of pure dark fruit including cacao, mocha and spice. The nose at first sniff reminds me a lot of a Merlot, but it is slightly more edgy and denser. The palate is balanced and super integrated, but a bit one-dimensional. The overall impression is very positive - and last but not least it needs to be concluded that acidity levels in this effort make it a very pleasant food companion. I was quite impressed by the quality level of this effort.

Retailer tasting: The bouquet is reticent. On the palate concentrated dark cherries, a lot of bitterness and a bit drying with some heat in the finish.
