Wow this is so good, even better for 2014. At first sniff a whole basket of dark berry fruits hits your nose, followed by some herbal, black-peppery notes and fine, subtle oak. You can still smell the coolness of 2014 in austria but in a very very fine way that really seems perfect for this wine. The palate confirms the nose aroma-wise, the wine is very full-bodied and intense. Acidity relatively high, but it‘s very fine and giving the wine so much life it almost dances over your tongue. Tannins are very high and mouth-drying very long even after the enormous, juicy afterhall. Alcohol is moderate with 13,5%.
This wine has everything to make it age-worthy but is also surprisingly nice to drink now or in the next 15+ years. For me this is very near to blaufränkisch-perfection and also making me curious what other blaufränkisch gems the unappreciated 2014 vintage will offer.
