One of the better Austrian reds we’ve tried, with mouthwatering aromas of smoke, black cherry, cinnamon and clove. So ripe, it seems slightly creamy-textured on the palate. Very clean, with oak and fruit in nice balance. Fresh and long on the finish, without much tannin. Drink now and over the next few years. Imported by Vin Divino. ——J.C.(5/1/2005)—— 89
