Zantho, St Laurent, 2015, Burgenland, Austria

Austrian wine has had a bit of a come back in recent years and this St Laurent from Zantho in Burgenland shows why.

There is some much going on, aromas and flavours of cherry, plum, blackcurrant, tobacco, licorice, hints of chocolate and oak. It’s dry, medium bodied with soft but “present” tannins. The length of these are good and integration is excellent.

One of the best wines I have tried in years and at approximately £15 a bottle it’s great value.
