BLAUFRÄNKISCH

92 Heidi Schröck 2018 Ried Kulm Blaufränkisch (Burgenland). Subtle notes of wild blueberry entice on the nose, with their freshness and slight cinnamon spice. The palate is slender but concentrated, revealing a well of infinite juiciness at its dark-fruited core, ripe but balanced, fresh and pure. The summer of 2018 adds a plummy richness but the finish remains bright and fresh—a wonderfully honest, vivid and elegant wine. Skurnik Wines, Inc. —A.K.

91 Markus Altenburger 2018 Purity and aroma strike from the offset: aromatic blueberry and peppery cherry combine to great effect on the nose. The palate shows a gentle and fine grip, effortless concentration and well-captured fruit. This is a very elegant, juicy and joyous wine. Schatzi Wines. —A.K.
