Prieler Pinot Noir 2002

Prieler Pinot Noir 2002 Silvia Prieler
Burgenland, Austria

My first impression..an aged Rhone wine..maybe Chateauneuf-du-Pape.
Why?..well..animal aromas..meaty..quite full..thick spices. I then saw what was in the bottle.
OK...search for Pinot...still think it is a Rhone!!!
Seriously though..the Austrian's style of the sexy grape is completely different to Germany...and you won't find many French wines like this either. Bacon aromas....well-balanced tannins...ready to drink now.
