Overall, it is a standout red wine that showcases the best of Hungarian winemaking.

Tasting Notes

Cool, tart breeze of forest fruits dominate the aromas, followed by a broad and deep first impression on the palate with blueberries, gooseberries and juniper berries. Further layers of fine oak, dark chocolate, velvety tannins and nutmeg complete the mouth feel before the orange peel-dominated, beautifully long and silky finish.
