J Hofstatter Lagrein Doc 2018 750ml
Rated 92 – Minty fresh, further accentuated by lifting florals and a whiff of white pepper, the 2018 Lagrein seems a bit reluctant today to show its full potential, but that isn’t worrying me. With the first sip, I’m greeted by depths of silky textures offsetting crunchy, mineral-encased red and black fruits, all propelled by juicy acids. Sweet violet flowers resonate over a coating of youthful tannin with echoes of blackberry and cherry to keep the imagination guessing at what’s to come. This may be the “entry-level” Lagrein at J. Hofstatter, but I’m curious to see just how much better it may get after a few years of cellaring.
