Thin fruits, smokiness, green pepper. Proportional size. Tastes quite good, but could have much more intensity. Pretty good balance and integrity, medium finish.

We were disappointed that this was corked as we've had this wine before and found it to be balanced and delicious. We were looking forward to it with a bit more cellaring. We are slowly becoming advocates for screw caps.

Initially rather oaky but open up nicely to a smooth bordeaux-like wine with notes of cassis,cedar, oak,hints of tobacco.Overall pleasant with a nicely developed finish.Drinking well now and the next 5 years.

The New Face of Hungary (Manchester): (from another bottle, later in the afternoon) 13% 65% cabernet sauvignon, 30% cabernet franc, 5% merlot. This has a very perfumed black fruits nose with some violet cream chocolates. Decent palate. But overall there’s a bit of a green, under-ripe feel with some very obvious tannins.

The New Face of Hungary (Manchester): 13% From southern Hungary, this is a blend of 65% cabernet sauvignon, 30% cabernet franc and 5% merlot. It is a very deep garnet colour. Rather straightforward Bordeaux blend on the nose with some vanilla and plenty of toasty oak and tobacco notes. Very nice palate: very open, quite mature with a notably mature feel on the finish. A very pleasant, pleasing wine. Very Good Indeed.
