Moric, Lutzmannsburg Blaufrankisch Alte Reben Vintage:2019 Deeply hued

Deeply hued

Still a deep ruby color that displays only a touch of lightening at the rim and that impression of youthfulness is reinforced by the distinctly earthy nose that exhibits moderate secondary development but certainly no sous bois

sweet fruit of moderate depth and grip

Floral pastille flavors flesh out steadily on the back half

Moric, Lutzmannsburg Blaufrankisch Alte Reben Vintage:2019 Deeply huedA little more lifted and red fruited than the 2018. Tiny, wild sour berries add a lift to the aroma. Finely dry, elegant tannins, like many layers of paper. Really dry and deliciously so. Ethereal yet persistent. A complex wine that is quite hard to describe, a conundrum of dry freshness and restrained dark fruit. Not as savoury as the 2018, with a lovely fresh lift on the finish. (JH)
