Moric: Blaufränkisch Reserve 2019

Parker om: Blaufränkisch Reserve

The 2019 Moric Reserve exhibits a dark and intense but brilliant and radiant cherry color and a corresponding nose with ripe dark cherry and delicate yeasty notes intermingled with still slightly reductive tones of raw, dark meat and crushed rocks but also pure fruit aromas of ripe black and red berries (black berries, redcurrant, cherries, dog rose) as well as fermented tea leaves, black chocolate and dark espresso beans. Silky, round and smooth on the palate, this is a medium to full-bodied, very refined and elegant, almost smooth Blaufränkisch from Lutzmannsburg that develops an intense, tart and concentrated yet also juicy finish with dark cherry aromas, very fine tannins and more texture and flesh than the generic Burgenland Blaufränkisch. 13.5% stated alcohol. Diam cork. Tasted in April 2023. 93/100
