More full bodied (full throttle) than the 2013 we had yesterday. Candied fruit. Yellow prunes and lots of different tropical fruits. Honey. Salmiak tones. Nice acidity and balance. — 18 days ago

Great Blaufrankisch. Bramble, dark cherries. What strikes me are the polished tannins so very well integrated with acidity, minerality and low alcohollevels. I think that the peak of this wine is somewhere between 2030 and 2035. — 21 days ago
