Wow. Super aromatic nose, but also quite oaky. On the palate the oak dominates at this stage, but there is massive fruit, a nice honey-butter flavor and lots of complexity hidden underneath. Still it doesn't seem overdone and even some elegance is undeniable. If you like heavy and oaked Chardonnays , this is a gem. And for 10€ an absolute bargain. Let it integrate another 1-2 years in bottle, then drink till 2016. - 92 points

Tag des Steirischen Weines (Bank Austria Kunstforum, Vienna, Austria): 12 Monate im kleinen Holzfass. Sehr süßer Duft in der Nase.. Am Gaumen intensiv, trocken, nach Karamell, nicht so cremig wie der Steinriegel.
