2004 Thermenregion trocken Harterberg, Lower Austria/Niederösterreich, Austria

Black berries on a slightly rustic nose, dried flowers, malted notes, light vegetal notes, prominent old oak. Tart roasted and smoky flavours on the palate, slightly aggressive oak, astringent tannins, fruit slightly hidder, but also slightly juicy, light acid bite, quite concentrated and full-bodied, but one-dimensional, more prominent oak, slightly astringent on an attractive to good finish.

Best to drink: Bis 2009+. What our ratings mean
