PINOT NOIR RESERVE
Pinot Noir belongs nowadays to the identities of Cistercian monks as they are originating from Burgundy (Citeaux).
Danube and Traisen have been sedimenting in the past millions of years river pebble (Quartzite) in the southern part of the Kamptal. The wine is matured in regional oak casks (Manhartsberg). The wine is only slightly filtered and could contain sediments.

You could easily mistake this for a village wine from Burgundy, thanks to the cherry, earthy and meaty notes, as well as the balance of dry tannins and bright acidity on the medium-full body. Long, dry and mineral finish, Drink or hold.

JAMES SUCKLING: Rating 92
Although this has some substance and earthy character it is also a little funky and both tannic and tart at the finish. That combination doesn’t exactly make it charming, and it needs at least another year of ageing, but it does have a lot of character.

Tasted assembled from cask, the Gobelsburg 2012 Pinot Noir Alte Haide was due for bottling in May, 2014. Choke cherry piquancy and tartness of rhubarb are complemented by as well as contrasted with a texturally polished palate, leading to an exuberantly juicy and lingering finish. Hints of iris root, blond tobacco and crushed stone lend intrigue and further savor while high-toned suggestions of kirsch distillate enhance the sense of vibrancy. This is going to be one of the most successful Gobelsburg Pinots yet and likely worth following through at least 2022.

PARKER: Rating 88
Leading with a salty, smoky, slightly reduced aromatic profile, the Gobelsburg 2011 Pinot Noir Alte Haide deploys tart-edged sour cherry and tomato on the juicy palate, smoked meat savor and pit piquancy informing a mouthwatering if rather chewy finish. I suspect that this will be best enjoyed by 2016.
WINE ENTHUSIAST: Rating 88
The gentle red currant and rasperry fruit in this subtly oaked red lurks amid notes of spicy pepper, undergrowth and autumn leaves. There is a gentle grip and a very natural, unforced sense of elegance to the structure.
VIKTOR SIEGL:
Cask sample: A fine aromatic blend of fully ripened raspberries and lightly roasted almonds – with the scent of roses always setting the tone; still a bit restrained. Somewhat powerful on the palate, also youthful, medium- to full-bodied, very hearty and surprisingly rich in tannins. Good for ageing.

VINTAGE 2010
PARKER: Rating 89
Pithy and faintly chewy, Moosbrugger’s 2010 Pinot Noir Alte Haide is quite the alter ego to his 2011 Zweigelt Haide that I happen to have tasted immediately before. In this wine, some sweetness of fruit as well as textural polish are sacrificed for the sake of considerable complexity, with hints of smoked meat, mushrooms, tamarind, black tea, stone and fruit pit inflecting fresh, tart-edged cherry and plum, leading to a finish of mouthwatering savor. Look for this lean but fascinating Pinot to serve admirably at table and evolve yet more interestingly through at least 2016.
