Accidentally found a lost bottle of this vintage 2004 in the basement - in a carton since about 2006. (Solid blaufränkisch no-question but not something you’d call age-worthy, also need to mention the terrible storage circumstances with constant temperature and humidity changes for more than 10 years!).
Definitely past its prime some years ago but still very interesting. Lacks fruit. Acidity i would say medium +, tannins very soft and integrated. But not really in balance, overall very overaged aroma profile. Still interesting. Violet, reminiscent of pepper and plum, some oak and leather.
