Beautifully aromatic nose, probably starting the best phase right now.
Black cherry with some damson plum, a nice cedar wood note and a healthy dose of spices. Fresh, relatively cool, with stony minerality. Quite distinct and with very little iron or earthy aromas. Enticing.
On the palate this is the finest black sour cherry juice with some plum and a pinch of exotic spice (cloves, allspice, cinnamon, pepper). Beautiful juicy acidity, tannins polished & perfectly integrated. Fresh, sappy, so drinkable. The iron note appears in the very long, mineral finish.
This is singing right now! Delicious stuff!

This is a serious Egri Bikaver... Probably the best i've had so far. Bought by my best half in Budapest while travelling there for business this week. The nose is inetense and shows cherry, strawberry, blueberry, licorice, gun powder, pencil lead, an earthy touch too. Wow. The palate shows superb balance, great acid drive, good width, blueberry, cherry notes all along, a gentle, soft mouthfeel that is gently disrupted by lightly carressing tannins. The finish is fruity, with blueberry and cherry, some earthy notes and a tiny savoury note in the rear. Wow this is punching way above its league... — 2 months ago
