Blaufrankisch Tasting (New York): I was told this was chard. 14 mos in French oak. Nose shows the oak strongly, opulent. Palate very buttery, this is young. Pretty fruit underneath though. Hard to tell for sure if this will age, but certainly has similarities to, say, a 1er cru white burgundy. Approachable now if you can handle oak. Paul Achs estimates this has a 10+ years window.
