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

‘Örökségül’ is Hungarian for ‘Heritage’ which means something when you know the head winemaker has been spending the last few years ceding control of the modest hand built winery/cellar to his daughter and her husband.

The wine doesn’t just have a cool name, it’s phenomenal. Cab Franc and a blaufränkisch (kekfrancos) blend. The nose is dried rose petals and spice, a bit of earthy leather, like your favorite worn boot. Bright red fruit flavors jump out though, bringing home a really balanced and beautifully structured wine full of cloves and spices hat paired perfectly with this lamb and hummus. — 3 years ago

Fascinating offering from Hungary. Petrol, honey, grill grease, lemon candy, gardenia, dried acacia wood on the nose. Palate starts with a nice zippy ginger lime zest, followed by golden plum, white cherry, honeysuckle, and a touch of woody spice on a medium finish. Well balanced with a rich and nicely polished mouthfeel; like something between an old Riesling and a good ‘wurtz. Ever so slight bitterness at the very end but would def buy again — 10 months ago
