Frauenkirchner Haideboden Blaufränkisch St. Laurent

After the first whiff, which suggests PN or gamay, a pronounced floral scent appears; it's like sticking your face into a bouqet of wild-flowers. Really amazing nose! The taste is red-fruity, moderately oak-scented, well balanced, and just delicious. This Austrian wine of Blaufrankisch, Zweigelt and CS is a fresh, floral and exciting wine (and I am not easily excitable on a Monday night).

Great accompaniment to pork dumplings.

Deep red color, soft tannins, black cherry, some sweet red cherry too. Nice rich mouthfeel.

Very nice but a bit straightforward at this moment. Maybe more complexity will come with time? Tannins are very integrated and quit soft. Really reminiscent of a Rhône blend.

мягкий лавр, черемуха, сладкая слива, кондитерские специи. Во вкусе вишневые косточки, много сахара, мягко, тяжеловатое тело, но довольно изящно, больше средней длины. 89/100

Very complex with dark fruits, stinging nettle (!), acidity & nougat.

Great Austrian light body wine

Mediumbodied with a nice mouthfeel and good balance. Blueberries & aronia. Quite straightforward and fruit driven, would expect a bit more complexity.

At Vienna, with colleagues at Plachuttas Gasthaus zut Oper

Yummy. Crisp and tart.
