What a wonderful little gem this wine turned out to be. A rather young blau but one that is light and drinkable with opportunity to age and grow in the bottle too. Has a ruby color, looks lighter body from the onset. Lively scents of rose petals and cola, but mostly red berries like currants and cherry. Drinks beautifully with a bright quality and low to medium acidity featuring some pepper but mostly sour cherry. Has a refreshing quality that I like. — 4 years ago

Simple Merlot Lagrein Blau blend but I’m not sure why it’s so compelling. Delicious. — 3 years ago
Lovely old blau. Dark garnet hue, nearly inky. This wine features a firm tannin structure that must be opened up properly. Decanted for around 2 hours and it was still evolving and moving. Coffee and chocolate nose, with baked blueberries and plum. Quite complex aromas. As it opened it kept its dense acidity and heavy body but brought on some pipe tobacco and sour cherries with baking spices. Really complex and lingering. — 4 years ago

Der schmeckt nicht gelb und nicht blau, sondern wie der Name es bereits verrät grün und frisch wie eine gemähte Almwiese im Frühling. — 6 years ago

In one fell swoop kick off the sandals, throw off the shirt, hop skip across sun-baked flat tile stones and dive with a swan’s assurance into the seaside swimming pool, warmed only by the elements, and just as mysterious, elusive and temperamental…….

I’d plough this Blau. Such a great kick from this grape. I like the tension, the tannin. The “Pinot Noir of the East”, I’ll let debate draw out elsewhere. But lay a sausage on a plate in front of me with a bottle of Blau and that is a fine eastern pairing. — 6 years ago
My Blaufrankisch spectrum is limited to a handful of producers. This interested me because it’s a rare red import from Skurnick. It’s softer, less abrupt, and more lush compared to my memory bank of Blau. Metallic, blackberry, raspberry, all spice, and minerals. — 7 years ago
