Heinrich Mayr (Nusserhof) Riserva Südtirol Lagrein 2010

$39.95

Finesse, class and understatement - not exactly the qualities that are so typical of Lagrein - are exactly what come through in the Mayr's 2010 Lagrein Riserva. Extended time in barrel softens the contours and yields an aromatically expressive, silky Lagrein unlike none other I know. One of Italy's truly great wines, the Lagrein Riserva is absolutely compelling in 2010. There is something very human, almost frail, to the 2010 that is hard to capture in words. This is such an expressive, translucent style. Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

Matt Lasater Delectable Pro

Deep garnet hue, tertiary, sweet/sour, energetic acid for its aged character, lingering dusty tannin and amaro spice. Old leather, dried and stewed cherry/plum fruit, dust, porcini, animal hide, hung meat, cigar wrapper, bitter roots, bitter cocoa powder, wet earth, mulch, rotting leaves. Love its chewy and upfront impact on the palate. Very complex and very drinkable

Lots of bottle variation with these wines but when it's on it's on! So good. Meaty and full but bright acidity.

Roasted meat, berries, savory, smoke, high acid. Seems like it'd be a contrarian wine but it works beautifully. On our list starting tonight.

Earthy berries and smooth tannins. Always one of the very best of the alpine reds.
