Flight 1 (8 notes)

White - Sparkling
2010 Zoltán Demeter Pezsgő Hungary, Tokaji
88 points
Very small bubbles, a bit hazy, seems that unfiltered. Nose of pineapple, exotic fruits, typical furmint. High accidity, sweet and sour character with some tartiness. Very long finish which is also a bit hot. One can feel that this is 0 dosage, 2-3g of sugar would be preferable here.
White
1999 Domaine Szeremley Kéknyelű Badacsonyi Hungary, Balaton, Badacsonyi

Unfiltered and hazy look. Green nose with honeyed character. Ripe fruits and lanolin, wax, also chemical note of gouache paint. Green palate, like chewing on a rose stem. Immense accidity, tartness of lemon and grapefruit peel. Gastronomic wine. Not that easy to judge it.
White
2014 Bakó Ambrus Badacsonyi Hungary, Balaton, Badacsonyi
88 points
Clear colour. Sweet fruits and marmalade, some petrol, botrytis as well on the nose. Complex oxidative character with high accidity and very long finish of unripe white fruits. Reminds me of Savennieres. Gastronomic as well.
Red
2009 Péter Wetzer Soproni Hungary, Észak-Dunántúl, Soproni
89 points
Complex nose of leather, tobacco, aronia, blackcurrant leaves. Metallic as well - smell of aluminium, also sauna. Very concentrated, excellent balance, though it is not loud, rather tenatious and firm. Liked this a lot.
Red
2013 Weninger Soproni Steiner Hungary, Észak-Dunántúl, Soproni
87 points
Leaner, colder in the beginning. Nose of vegetable juice and pepper, onion, like a lean Cab.Franc. There's also dusty road in the nose.
Red
1989 Gere Tamas Villányi Hungary, Dél-Pannónia, Villányi

Bor Museum Merlot.
Mild marinade, barnyard and blackberries on the nose. Easy drinking, soft palate. A bit madeirised, dies quite fast in the glass. Judging by the nose and development - over the hill, but still drinkable.
Red
1993 Gere Tamas Villányi Hungary, Dél-Pannónia, Villányi
86 points
Sweet leather and vegetal nose with hint of sweat. Somewhat unclean on the palate, spices and dirty vegetables.
White - Sweet/Dessert
1972 József Monyók Tokaji Aszú Eszencia Hungary, Tokaji
93 points
Typical dried fruit, immense accidity and freshness. Dark dried plums and raisins as well. Never ending finish.
