Club Batonnage 1,5 l Magnum - Markus Altenburger

The barrel-aged Club Batonnage 1.5 L Magnum from the wine-growing region of Burgenland presents itself in the glass as a dense ruby red. In the glass, this red wine from Club Batonnage reveals aromas of blackberry jam and blackberries, complemented by toasted wood and cocoa. The Club Batonnage 1.5 L Magnum impresses with its elegantly dry flavor profile. It was bottled with exceptionally low residual sugar. This is a true quality wine, clearly distinguished from more basic qualities, and thus delights this Austrian with a fine balance despite its dryness. Flavor does not necessarily require a lot of residual sugar. Full-bodied and complex, this dense red wine appeals at the palate. On the finish, this highly age-worthy wine from the Burgenland region impresses with extraordinary length. Once again, hints of blackberry and blackberry jam emerge.
