2011 Syrah trocken "Premium", Lower Austria/Niederösterreich, Austria

Developed, dried-vegetable to tobacco, somewhat bacony, also meaty and peppery aroma of black berries with moderate barrel tones, herbs and earthy to mineral nuances. Ripe, developed, somewhat warm, with air increasingly juicy fruit, nutty, smoky and slightly toasty aromas, again peppery and bacony-meaty hints, a little chocolate on the palate, also cola nut, certain power and warmth, good persistence, in the background a hint of paprika and tomato paste, Mediterranean-herbal tones, hints of dark ethereal spice, very good, first a hint drying, then also here increasingly juicy finish with warm and cool elements. In convincing form.
