Markowitsch Ried Rosenberg 2021

A la Carte

Falstaff

Deep dark ruby garnet, purple reflections, subtle edge brightening. Inviting dark forest berry confit, black cherries, fresh, fine caramel, precious wood notes, background of candied orange zest. Complex, juicy, tightly woven, elegant, fine extracted sweetness, red berry nuances, ripe tannins, elegant and persistent, certain ageing potential, already accessible.

James Suckling

This pulls you in with aromas of tea leaves, balsamic, licorice and dark cherry fruit, plus some toasty and spicy elements. Full-bodied yet elegant and agile, with polished and supple tannins. Dark and tarry minerality at the end. A blend of zweigelt, blaufrankisch and merlot. Try from 2024.

Falstaff

Deep dark ruby, opaque core, purple reflections with subtle brightening on the rim. Multi-faceted bouquet with delicate noble wood, attractive dark forest berry conserve and blackberry. Tightly meshed on the palate, ripe, black cherry, supporting, well-integrated tannins, freshness with fine nougat and minerality on the finish. Definite ageing potential.

A la Carte

James Suckling

The deep nose of black fruit, toasty oak and savory notes pulls you into this rich and well-structured red that has impressive concentration and nice, chalky minerality at the long, polished finish. A blend of zweigelt, blaufrankisch and merlot.

Wine Enthusiast

Smoke, tar, plum and chocolate blend into a united, fruity richness on the nose. The palate is dense and compact, wonderfully fresh and endowed with really supple, fine and smooth tannins that are imbued with smoky tarry juiciness. This is one elegant number, full of poise and promise.
