A privilege to meet Roland Velich once again and enjoy his shared unicorn Blaufrankisch. Farmed from oldest vines planted 85-110 years ago, aged for 24 months in large used barrels, no fining, no filtration. Medium+ intensity aroma of blackberries, blueberries, earth, violets, black pepper and herbals, tobacco touch. Medium+ body, multilayered texture, juicy and taut yet powerful and intense with fresh and mineral packed fruity flavours, herbal and saline notes, lively acidity, medium+ grippy fine tannins.

Some lighter red berry fruit and cherry confiture, but also more dark berries of brambleberry. Layer of light, powdery sweet spice, fine earthy base of sous-bois. Later also vegetal and herbal notes and adding black coffee after 1h or so. Fresh acidity with some weight to the body. Another Blaufränkisch aging impressively.

A nice dinner with friends : We didn't do justice to this bottle as we served it after two exceptional wine and didn't open it long enough before serving. It was very closed at first but evolved nicely in the glass. Great value at 70 CHF a bottle. I have one more bottle and will wait 5+ years before touching it. I will also try to serve it as first wine

I'm keeping this at 93 for now, but man am I glad I have another bottle of this because I think this could turn in to a 94-95 monster... Both the nose and palate was a lot darker than I had remembered. So much dark cherry, blackberry, blackcurrant, plum and chokeberry! Only a touch of raspberry and violets sneaking through but then comes the smoke, leather, spices, cedar and hung meat. Tannins are still taking a stronghold on your cheeks, …

The Lutzmannsburg Alte Reben is a Blaufränkisch selection from the oldest and best vineyards. The Lutzmannsburg plateau was formed from a primeval volcano, on which different layers were deposited over time. Today one can find sediments of the Pannonian sea in the form of calcareous sandstone, loam, sand and clay as well as deposits of volcanic nature. The age of the vines is between 85 and 110 years. Part was fermented as whole grapes with rape. After spontaneous introduction, fermentation …

A wine dinner at Stuva in Ischgl (Stuva, Ischgl) : The wines one comes across in lovely wine dinners. The table next to us at the excellent and Michelin Star worthy Stuva, Ischgl countered our offer of Appius 2014 with this. Local knowledge in a way. Very cool vintage feel to it and frankly we could not place it as we have very limited exposure to Blaufränkisch. We felt it was a bit of a Syrah young and from a …

Wow- just beautiful, with vibrancy, complexity and depth. The price is high, but even so I loved the QPR - reminiscent of a few somewhat less expensive wines I've enjoyed before, but clearly world-class. No decant, just enjoyed slowly over several hours. I usually think of this grape as a cross between light red (Pinot or Gamay) and Syrah. This one was all syrah-style, but the best kind of syrah, with super fresh black fruit and ultra meaty/savory tones, showing …

Everyone grew pretty big eyes, seeing a decade old, old vine Blaufrankisch at the table and we all agreed that this would be fun to try! It was definitely more than just fun; The aroma has a beautiful bouquet of rose petals, english licorice, cherries and some pine or cedar wood. The palate showed ripe, dark fruits; black cherries, blackberries and blueberries with a sliver of cassis with added notions of licorice and wood spice. It’ll remind you of a …

Acidic black fruit; blackberry, black cherry, blackcurrant and plum with some raspberry. Pepper, mushroom and forest floor with the most sexy acidity! Drinks like a top Beaujolais/Bourgogne red! Can't believe this was from 2011 it felt so young.

Burgundy Style, now in a perfect drinking window, earthy nose, red fruit, perfect tannins, nice acidity, it’s Blaufränkisch, not Pinot! 😉

Somm recommendation, Coravin glass. Earthy nose with licorice, cherry, dried fruit, like a high end Gamay or Burg from a riper vintage. Fruity uet tannic and with good acidity. Lovely animalic finish.

will develop for another 10 years and it is too early to judge it yet. It seems like a very good wine in waiting.
