Slightly alcoholic and plummy on the nose. Fruit character is a little generic, but with Blaufränkisch’s trademark sour twang. Fresh and structured, without doubt. Not the most expressive or elegant.
typical PB nose, with that lovely hint of cream soda (almost. Super tight, mineral palate full of slate, minerals and whisps of citrus. Not specially complex, but very nicely done.
Rather restrained on the nose, some herbal hints. Attractive notes of citrus and honey, but also some vegetal/oak contributed elements that threaten to take this out of balance. Lacks a bit of youthful vigour fruit, which one would expect right Read more
Very open on the nose, apple pie and sliced pear aromas. Tight fruit with lovely acids and a wet stone/salty finish – long, refreshing and full of potential. Still fairly monothematic at this point, yet the finish is long.
Burgundian nose with that wonderful combination of gunflint and a hint of chamomile or cottonwool – a young, reductive yet characterful Chardonnay. Quite lifted and mineral on the attack, with spicy orchard fruit. Only a slightly sweet finish (hint of Read more
Odd and slightly cooked nose, some fresh apple slices, Good attack but tails off very rapidly into an unfocused and slightly alcoholic finish. Not delivering at the price point at all.

Pithy green pepper and honey aromas, very open and expressive on the nose. Grabs the attention with spine-tingling acidity, and there are subtle backnotes of herbs and minerals too. Nice peppery note on the finish, full of character and super Read more
Candied fruit chunks, candied pear on the nose, hint of chamomile – adds pleasing rusticity/wildness. Lacks a little get up and go – overly broad for the lowissh acidity. But there is plenty of depth and character here.
