A classic Austrian blend of Zweigelt, Blaufrankisch and St Laurent, this is big, bold and ripe, structured, powerful and dense. Pure juicy black berry fruits drive right through the tight tannins. Age for 3–4 years.——R.V.(12/1/2010)—— 92

This classic Austrian red wine blend, a specialty of the Gols region north of the Neusiedlersee, is here shown at its best. Peel away its tight, mineral outer shell, and the wine inside shows richly dark tannins, juicy fruit and an appealing red and green pepper vitality that contrasts freshness with the serious structure. Age for 3-4 years.——R.V.(3/1/2009)—— 91
