A day tasting in Tokaji, Hungary (with lots of photos) (Tokaj, Hungary): This is 100% Furmint aged for 6 months in new medium toast oak barrels. It came in at 14.5% alcohol and 13 grams RS. The aromas express soft, candied fruit. Like Mike and Ikes candy. It doesn't smell sweet, but definitely the essence of candy is there. The palate is pleasingly soft and lush, with quite mild acid. More acid comes in on the finish, but like everything here thus far, it comes across as slightly volatile.

Budapest Wine festival (29 TN inside!!) (Budapest (H)): Semy sweet wine (Fèlszaras); 14, 5%, 7 months in oak barrels, but low intensity aromas; Good acidity and minerality and sufficient body...but I didn't like the taste. Unbalanced.
