Moric Blaufrankisch Reserve 2018 (75 CL)

96 points Falstaff.

Wine Advocate

The 2018 Burgenland Blaufränkisch is sourced in Lutzmannsburg, Zagersdorf and St Georgen and the Föllig in Wulkapodersdorf. Its bouquet is deep, pure, intense and spicy as well as refined and fresh in its dark cherry and berry aromas intertwined with lavender and violet and even red berry notes. On the palate, this is silky textured, refined and elegant, wonderfully tart and fruity. The finish is pure and fresh with the vital finesse and salty purity of a white Burgundy intertwined with the black, tart blackthorn fruit of a Burgenland Blaufränkisch. The 2018 is clearly limestone-dominated but, luckily, doesn't hide its fruit. The tannins are fine and fresh and intertwined with the salty purity. A gorgeous red wine. (SR, 5/2021)
