It has a beautiful deep dark copper color, but that's about it. There is acidity, some mushy apple flavors, but not much else. Mediocre and disappointing.

Very high acidity definitely balances the sweetness. Dry honey notes on nose and on the palate along with orange peel. Not bad but rather one dimensional.

Lo siento Sergio pero esta botella estaba plana, casi muerta sin una personalidad real, solo un poco de acidez o de los maravillosos aromas húngaros. Una lástima

Darker gold/copper color. Nice nose, caramel, brandy, honey and some apricots. SImilar taste on the palate with caramely notes, decent acidity and finish. Sweet, but balanced but not very complex or special. 87-88 not bad for ~$12-13 in Hungary (thanks to stronger dollar)

Left this one a little long, but it was nonetheless interesting.
Deep amber color with a nose of dried apricots, honeycomb, and caramel.
Honey continues on the tongue with a ginger spice layered to it & some earthy notes that I can't pinpoint – perhaps chalk?
Acidity is faint, but it paired well with Japanese chestnut dumplings!

2010 Family Xmas; 12/24/2010-12/25/2010 (Alicante): Sorry Serge but this bottle was flat, almost dead without a real personality, just a few of acidity or lovely Hungarian aromas. What a pity!
