Seemingly picked really ripe, this Blaufrankisch marries the aromas and flavors of prunes, plums and black cherries with cedar and vanilla, then delivers them with fudge-like concentration and low acidity. Tannins are soft and supple, while the finish picks up a nice smoky note. Imported by Magellan Wine Imports. ——J.C.(3/1/2006)—— 88
