Tasting Notes 09/09/2009

Taschner Kurt Rosé 2008 Kékfrankos
Salmon colour, lovely silky strawberry fruit on the nose, good clean, recent bottling, bit of SO2 popping out. Dry, crisp, refreshing, good balance, correct fruit-pleasant example of rose, nice one.

Pfneiszl Kékfrankos 2007 „Újra Együtt“ (Together again)
Light to medium ruby colour with a garnet hue. Some red fruit on the nose, pencil shaving, hint of fading and rather light paprika powder, capsicum. Good acidity, hint of capsicum on the palate, light spice and peppery character, basic drive-correct food wine. Steel tank vinification and 6 months in big oak. Retail price around 1200 HUF, 4-5 EUR. Good, considering the price if right, an everyday drinking wine, indeed.

Weninger Kékfrankos 2006
From „Balf“-deep ruby colour, cherry and spice and some capsicum and pepper with some pencil shaving on the nose. Silky soft tannins, juicy fruit yet a youngster (despite being 2006!). More fruit on the palate then on the nose, cherry, damson, plum, wood is gearing with some vanilla into the picture. Balanced, spice and ripe base fruit, positive finish.

Luka Enikö Kékfrankos 2007, Sopron
Ruby colour, great nose bright in its own way, open and sincere. Cherry, red berry, blue berry, complex with some spice and hint of vegetal notes too. Good acidity, soft wood, juicy, ripe base and the oak adds to it, complex, strawberry, plum, tick of spice and the light vegetal fading finish, Despite being having quite something in the beginning and in the middle, but it leaves a little bit empty, like goes out of fuel on the finishing line and it just makes it, barely.

Ákos István Kékfrankos 2006
Ruby and hint of garnet hue, very meaty and savoury notes on the nose. There is also a bit of animality, brett…this threshold looks okay, in this picture. Crisp acidity, low on the tannin (?), yet the very present wood helps to guide the wine. Quite oaky.
