ROBERT PARKER - The Wine Advocate 06/21: 89 points
Gobelsburg's 2018 Zweigelt Reserve is deep, pure and fresh on the nose that offers a dark fruit potpourri with lovely toasty and spicy tones and stunning freshness that is reminiscent of lemon fruit. This is a round, smooth and elegant Zweigelt with fine tannins and ripe, less reductive fruit than in the Pinot Noir and the St Laurent. The wine has substance, richness and also elegance and finishes intense and with fine tannin grip but is a rather warmer style of Zweigelt that doesn't have the coolish stimulating character of the classic.
