The Story

The 100% Furmint varietals are made in the international style, to showcase the exciting spicy character of this Hungarian grape variety. The Late Harvest Furmint is picked late, with 40 to 50% of the grapes having succumbed to noble rot (Aszu in Hungarian), giving concentrated sugars and a botrytis complexity.

Written Notes

Good looking half size bottle and in an perfect condition. Colour is gold, and looking clear and mature. On the nose it is open, tempting, seductive and complex. The taste is rich, fruity, fresh, perfumed, elegant, and sweet, warming, and high in acidity, medium-bodied, with perfectly balanced structure and developing. On the palate it is layered and has perfumed, apricot, honey and caramel flavours. The finish is long and round. This wine is excellent. I paid around 50-100€ a bottle. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 20-30 years, decant at least 30min before tasting and this is a good invest wine. Good value for money. I do recommend.
