2017 trocken "Ab Ericio", Burgenland, Austria

Rather firm, quite deep and complex bouquet of ripe black and a little red berries with dried plant and floral aromas, a touch of tobacco and juniper and mineral tones in the background. Tart and again quite firm in the mouth, ripe, rather restrained dark fruit with smoky and a little bit roasted to sooty wood aromas, present, fine tannin, some bite, dense and persistent on the palate, good depth, still undeveloped, a hint of tobacco and juniper, also salty mineral tones, quite complex, ethereal nuances, very good, firm, tangy-juicy and spicy finish. Must mature
