Vintage 2010 | from double magnum | a real treat, mature ánd fresh, from a year that in Burgenland not is considered to be a great one. Lovely effort. At the domaine at lunch with a spaghetti carbonara with sheep’s meat. — 18 days ago

Medium red color with ample bricking. Nose contains lots of rust with some minerals and blood. Medium minus depth with hardly any fruit. Very earthy and grassy. Medium finish. Probably over the hill as this usually has big, bright fruit. — 3 years ago

Unique flavor profile: honey, elderflower, apricot, and wet stone. Weighty but still soft and delicate, lifted and aromatic. — 3 years ago

1hr+ decant. I could smell the empty bottle all day long as it was so floral and lovely. Surprisingly it didn’t show at all on the nose or palate. Very similar to previous notes. Wine is getting tired and shows it age with rust like colors and a medium minus finish. Depth has faded too. — 4 years ago

Easy to drink. You can enjoy this well made wine with food or without. A little fat on your pallet will open up this accessible but not inexpensive wine and you will enjoy some nice fruits. — 3 months ago

1986 vintage opened 1-14-23. Base neck fill. Owned since buying in 1988. Opened with a Durand. Cork moist to top. Decanted and only fine sediment in the dregs. Color really strong, no bricking at edge but you could see just a bit of rust in the overall color. Still opaque. Musty at first but lots of great mature aroma and leather after 20 minutes. Lasted an hour in the decanter and got more smooth. Don’t look for fruit but a great accompaniment to the dinner of a braised chicken with pancetta and tomatoes. — 2 years ago
