Glass: Zalto Bordeaux Popped and poured, drunk over two days. Benchmark Blaufränkisch with a wonderful deep garnet color, and a pronounced, developing, complex and deep nose with lots of fine red fruit, fresh herbs and fine mineral core. On the palate bone dry, lively acidity, high, grippy tannin and lots of fine red sweet fruit and fresh herbs. Wonderful balance and fresh as a daisy. Long, fruity complex finish. Potential for another decade. 93-94

Blackberries, tobacco, leather and some chocolate on the nose. Juicy with great tannin and wonderful length. Beautifully matured and can well stay longer.

2nd time this year and both times stunning! Drank it over 2h out of a decanter and it didn't fade a bit. Nice concentration, sour cherry, dark berries, pepper, cloves. Juicy, long and complex finish. Nice supporting tannins and acidity. Allready such a pleasure to drink but also primed for aging another 10 years easily!

Opened 1 hour prior to drinking. Great depth and complexity. More like a good syrah than a BX or Burgundy. Tannins still a bit firm. Wonderful wine. Accessible now, but I would wait another 2 or 3 years.

Was the wine of the evening among other great wines. Beautiful maturity and it has further potential. I like him already very much.
