Weingut Kiss, St Laurent Trift 2012 Niederosterreich This rare red from ChampagneAt first you might think it was Pinot Noir with the powerful nose of ripe summer berry fruit but you will find firmer tannins and richer structure. There's also a delicate smokiness and lots of tertiary meaty, savoury notes followed by some dark spicy fruit on the finish.
