Aromas of graphite

fig jam and light lemongrass scents that is pure Barsac joy

lemon grass and acacia blossom precede highly energetic and more mineral-driven if less concentrated and powerful middle weight flavors that possess a highly refined and sophisticated texture

The clarity of the 2016 Sangiovese fruit does break through

rather than simply Rancia

Moric, Lutzmannsburg Blaufrankisch Alte Reben Vintage:2019 Aromas of graphiteA 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)
