$60, 5 stars, 94 points, dessert wine, Furmint, hungary, tokaji


Medium gold colored with medium viscosity legs (11% ABV). Intense aromas of orange marmalade, peach, honey, marzipan, almond paste, vanilla bean pod and apricot mash.  The palate is sweet and silky with honey, orange peel, marzipan, baked peach, bitter orange, apricots and a balancing acidity. This full bodied beauty is so easy to sip- the balance between structural components is perfect and the fruit is fresh yet showing some tertiary character- it finishes long, with excellent mouthfeel.  I am going with 94 points and for $60 per 500ml it gets 5 stars from me.  Delicious stuff to savor after a big meal.  Salut….

$28, 3 stars, 89 points, Furmint, hungary, tokaji, VWTC


We started our 23rd Virtual Wine Tasting with this Furmint, a varietal I have never had before. Tasted chilled and then at room temperature, it was a completely different wine.  Medium lemon color the chilled version had pear, apple, apricot, lemon and a brie-like note.  The palate also included honeysuckle and lemon pith.  Medium body and medium acidity led to a decent finish.

The room temperature serving was skunky on the nose- that Brie note really taking the pole position.  Spices, honeysuckle, nuts, brioche and a greenness with hints of Malolactic fermentation.  The palate was ‘yucky’ and flabby for me.  Buttery, pithy and bitter- the lemon was evident to a degree but the wine was just too funky.  I scored it a 7.5 on my VWTC scoresheet. Overall this $25 bottle got 89 points making it a 3 star wine. Drink well chilled until 2025 with seafood, Alfredo or even a grilled chilled salad. Salut….
