Tasted blind. Quite intense nose of peer compote, honey, some muscat perfumeness. Has a late harvest feeling. On the palate flavours show only medium intensity. Has viscosity but structurally feels rather loose, unfocused. Anyway nothing bothering, balance is ok, finish is medium. Maybe an unfortunate bottle, but I expected much more for this price.

Tasted blind. Crazy intense nose with dried yellow fruits, plenty of spices, truffle. Wow! Full bodied, fantastic depth of flavors. Dense, creamy texture, profound midpalate, long finish. Alcohol is pretty high, but who cares? Very impressive stuff. 92-93

Tasted blind. Citrus, mint, salty-modelling clay like minerality. Clean but somewhat closed. Medium body. At first feels rather slim, after the previous one has a real hard time. Anyway nice and elegant with purity, vibrant acidity, fine balance besides being bone-dry. Medium-plus finish. Could be more generous.

Tasted blind. Cool citrus, salty-modelling clay like minerality, some mint. Medium-plus well-muscled body, pure, unwooded flavours with good intensity. Dense mineral core on the midpalate, tight acidity makes it precisely focused, nice, long finish. Tasted before, but this time it showed its best.90-91

Tasted blind. Nose is quite closed, but on the palate it's flavourful with ripe, delicious white fruits, some mineral spiciness. Some residual sugar makes the mouthfeel thicker, more rounded. Ripe, vivid acidity holds the balance, medium or slightly longer finish. Not a serious one, but drinks well, and shows good value for the price.

Tasted blind. Ripe, thick tropical fruits, fine creaminess. Has good depth, intensity, density. Acids are ripe, yet mouthwatering. Rich, balanced, super delicious. Tasted several times, this time was the best ever. Wonderful value for the price. 90-91

2011 Zoltán Demeter Furmint Tokaji Kakas Hungary, Tokaji

Tasted blind. Pure citrus, some tropical-creamy-mineral notes. Not outstanding, but good flavour-intensity. Bone dry, clean, balanced. Medium density on midpalate, medium-plus finish. Could be more generous for this price, but has elegance.

Tasted blind. Deep nose with concentrated citrus, white peach, slight saltiness. Medium-plus body. Fullish, biteable flavours with juicy fruits. Not exceptional but also good structural density, length. Ripe, smooth acidity makes the balance. Lovely.

2011 Bott Pince Tokaji Csontos Hungary, Tokaji

Tasted blind. Citrus, fresh pear, summer apple, modelling clay like minerality. Medium-plus body, doesn't want to overpower, but has very good intensity of pure flavours, followed by dense mineral core on the midpalate. Precise acidity completes the focus and drive, nice long finish. Classy.
