Community Tasting Notes 7

  April 19, 2012 - The colour seemed fairly regular for a Blaufränkisch. Still very vital, dark red with some transparency! The nose foretold a possible calamity (maybe the harvest date?)! At first I got a whiff of hyper strong green pepper and some red chilli. Very intense and very unusual! I am not kidding! It mad me sneeze three or four times. Besides that I got milder scents of basil, some black currant, some dark cherries and hints of an autumn’ish meadow + hay. Unfortunately not a lot of fruit scents. The taste got more fruit. Again black currant this time in symbiosis with liquorice, some austere and hard dark cherry flavours, very fine and decent smoke attributes aaaand (unfortunately) tons of green pepper and even more red chilli. Maybe the nose was a bit more extreme, but a well balance taste is very different compared to That. The concentration was medium strong and its finish lasted some seconds. No complaining about the well prop acid either. The main problem was its extreme spiciness. On the second day it eased a bit. Just a bit and the fruit said Bye! Maybe a wine more recommendable for an extra spicy goulash or pepperoni salad! I don’t know … I think I never had anything like that before. Normally I am into rough wines but this stuff was by far too much for me. Well okay, apart of this specific balance problem not such a disappointing wine after all.

  January 14, 2012 - Starts off a bit funky, then mellows. Nice earthy, green pepper note on nose and palate. More in an early drinking Cab style than Pinot style--softly tannic, but extracted. Medium acidity. Showing mostly dark fruits.
