Although I'm not a big fan of Pinot Noir, I was more than surprised by
this austrian (Burgenland) wine. The wine has been laying in new
barrique for 2 years - a reason more for not liking it, BUT! - the
color is sparkling ruby - ok, it's pinot. And then - unbelievably
complex nose: ripe strawberries, raspberries, almost strawberry-rum
jam. Palate is even more strawberry, after some time a hint of cocoa.
Haselnut, chocolate (maybe roasted almonds?) aftertaste. Very
structured tannins, (at least for me) unexpectedly persistent finish.
Had it with wild mushroom-chestnut-risotto with blueberry-red
beet-coriander sauce. It might go well with wild goose or similar.

Don't forget that 2001 was a superb year for pinot noir in
Austria.

that's - without doubt - perfectly correct, but it's still "only" pinot
noir, my not-so-favourite wine. at least unti I tried in signo tauri ;-)

Try Claus Preisinger (2003) and Juris (2002), both excellent,
the first in a very modern, the latter more in a classic way.

Had Juris Wolfsjäger 03 some time ago, Very exciting wine with nice
roasted palate. I guess I should really try his Pinot also.
