"On the taut side, with mulled fig and black currant fruit framed with a thick layer of roasted tobacco and allied to an austere, chalky finish."

"Dark plum color with a hue of crimson red. An opulent bouquet of blackberry, red currant, plum and dark cherry fruit emerge from the glass. Black currant, cherry and spice intertwine for an exceptionally balanced palate. Smooth tannins help build depth on the back palate for a lengthy finish, rich with creamy vanilla and blackberry."

"Brilliant yellow with green highlights. Passion fruit, pineapple and lichee over damp straw and dried pear make for an exotic impression on the nose. The luscious, opulent sweetness tends toward the plump side, but is leavened by refreshing acidity. Concentrated ripe apricot and orange flavor are joined on the back end by the typical tobacco nuances of ripe gruner veltliner."
