The clarity of the 2016 Sangiovese fruit does break through

The winery itself is located in the village of Samaniego

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

clean and bone-dry finale

fig jam and light lemongrass scents that is pure Barsac joy

Moric, Lutzmannsburg Blaufrankisch Alte Reben Vintage:2019 The clarity of the 2016A 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)
