2006 Abbazia di Novacella (Stiftskellerei Neustift) Lagrein

4/11/2009

NOSE: incredible bouquet with a strong balsamic note and a slight citrus counterpoint.

BODY: deep dark color; medium bodied.

TASTE: very nicely balanced – good acid; sweet purple fruits and sour earth; a bit stemmy; short finish; 12.5% alc… I am very disappointed the store from which I purchased this has no more. An excellent wine that I will certainly be on the lookout for.

B: 50, 5, 12, 16, 7 = (90 pts.)
