Leo Hillinger, Small Hill Red, Burgenland

Taste and smell of black currant, quite straight. Not much depth, nevertheless very nice.

Blend of 25% Pinot Noir, 25% St Laurent, 50% Merlot. Dark red. almost black. Balanced nose. Blackberry, leather and chocolate. A bit low on acidity and almost no tannins. Nice but a bit "jammy".

Handwerklich sehr solide gemachter Wein, gut ausbalanciert. Auch gute zu einem käftigeren Essen (Rind)

Nicely balanced. Smooth but with enough tannins to pair well with richer foods.

Not much to it

dunkles Rot; N: leichte Frucht, Weichsel, etwas Schoko, leicht, vielleicht etwas schal; G: zurückhaltend, etwas wässrig, bitterer, fast scharfer Abgang

Great QPR at 6 EUR. Divine with lasagne - good acidity and red fruit together with some spice. Very nice - a good food wine.

Enjoyed with Kim and good friend neighborbill at the monthly Hickory Wine Shoppe tasting earlier tonight. Extremely interesting red blend from a master Austrian vintner. Very good QPR at this price point. Initially muted nose with some petrol which nicely opened up with aeration, developing tones of red cherry, wet stone and dark stone fruit. Primary flavors included granite, cassis, blackberry and tar. Would definitely look for this again.

Loved it. evolved over 2 hours into a more complex wine. will purchase again.
