2010 Hillinger Leithaberg Blaufrankisch. Over the top jammy black cherry and black cherry intertwined with graphite, pepper and anise. Fresh and firm with a velvety texture. Stunning really. #wine #austria #blaufrankisch #osterrich

Needs a lot of air or just time. Quite peppery at first taste. With time the cherry really screamed from the glass. Very nice with Austrian food.

Medium body. Bright cherry, some vanilla and spice. Round and fat. Oak not yet completely integrated. Fine grained tannin, excellent balance.
