The 16 months wood aging has smoothed the wrinkles in this wine, giving solid tannins, a dry core and red cherry and wild strawberry flavors. It is a fine performance, dense but not losing sight of the varietal character. ——R.V.(3/1/2010)—— 90

As with so many red wine producers in Thermenregion, Pinot Noir and its local derivatives (Blauer Burgunder and Blaufrankisch) do very well at Johann Reinisch’s estate. This full-blown wine, earthy, ripe and with great balancing acidity, is packed with red plum and strawberry flavors. Screwcap.——R.V.(10/1/2007)—— 90
