This Blaufrankish is stunning. We bought Bought this wine in Vienna. Loving it! Full bodied, dark fruits and quite lush. It’s rich but not too heavy. Vanilla from some oak, dark red fruit. Layers of flavor. I wish I had more bottles!!

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.
