Moric Burgenland Blaufrankish



2021 Moric Burgenland Blaufrankish...$31.99
Austria

Dark ruby garnet, purple reflections, subtle rim brightening. Black forest berries, dark cherries, deliacte herbal savouriness, attractive bouquet. Tightly meshed, finely savoury and straightforward, red cherries, mineral and long lasting, very good freshness, chalky taut style, fine lime touch in the finish, a stimulating companion at the table.
Rated 94/100 Fallstaff Magazine
Expressive nose of red fruit with a lot of earthy depth! Excellent concentration for this humble category, with fine, powdery tannins and lively but ripe acidity. Complex finish with notes of clove, black pepper, cardamon and wild herbs. Salty touch, too. Drink or hold.
Rated 93/100 James Suckling
