  Good one. Very homogenous; middle-weight body, nice acids. Not terribly complex, however there's a kind of self-explanatory elegance to it which I really liked and reminded me of some piemontese wines. In perfect condition btw. Recommended.

  Drank with the dickman, and basically agree with his note. Definitely showing some spicy italian pork sausage on the nose along with mild tangy red fruits. Mid-palate and finish show Pinot Noir characteristics... I'd go more with the blend of Pinot Noir and Sangiovese. I've found Blaufränkisch to have this Sangio character in the past as well... a pleasing drink that added weight as the hours went by, but a slight let down overall as this didn't really have any unique characteristics.

  A late night pop & pour at a local wine bar. The easiest comparison I had for myself as to the flavor profile of this wine was a 60/40 blend of light bodied Pinot Noir and Barbera D'Asti. Bright chalky red fruits and berries with an odd, almost raw meat (beef or pork) component on the nose. The palate gave away all of those chalky red fruits with great balance and smoothness. Nice acid on this wine, which is something I'm not typically fond of.
