Domaine Pottelsdorf – Blaufrankisch Baronesse – 2012

Medium intense colour, ruby-red. Very youthful nose. Still very primary fruit here, like freshly fermented grapes, plum, with red berries. Some dried spices. Slight hint of wood. Medium weight on the palate. Still a bit backward with noticeable tannin. Youthful fruit, with notes of plum, red berry. There is some pepperiness. Quite discreet oak. Medium towards long finish, but still with a quite high presence of tannin. I certainly do think that this is a wine with structure and substance to develop but it appears a bit backward today. I would give it a thorough aeration or even put it back in the cellar for some time.
