  April 25, 2011 - Expirements are still ongoing in Hungary to reveal, or rather to re-discover the potential of the Kadarka grape, once a famous red variety grown in almost every corner of the country. Clonal selection is in progress too, but the current most widely grown clones produce lightly colored, spicy reds which often lack any kind of tannin. Interestingly, the most succesful and most complex wines come from this category, and particularly from the Eger region in the northern part of the country. Like this one, which may be the best Kadarka ever made in the modern era. It has a light ruby color closer to a rosé, than a red wine. The nose jumps out of the glass, it's really intense, and not less exciting. All red fruits, mainly cherries and redcurrants, flowers, lot of spice, accompanied by some regional dill and herbaceous notes. Beautiful crisp acidity on the palate, which carries the intense flavors of spicy red berries. It's not an extracted sytle, light on it's feet, still has a serious mouthfeel. No perceptible tannins, restrained alcohol (12.5%), lovely freshness - it is hard to spit, or even to stop drinking. A remarkable, unique wine to drink now.
