Finest Hungarian #wine I've had. @KNWWines Nagy Eged was #Excellence.
Incredibly chalky. Fine earth running parallel. Dense.
Opens up nicely. Tannins get superfine. Smokey raspberry, high acid. Focused elegant black raspberry finish. The cork would parrish before the wine would. We needed #food for this. — 8 years ago

Worth every penny:
Big, Round, Rich, Luscious.
Darkest purple possible without being black, with a thing ring of burgandy red-to-rosé/pink floating around the edges of the purple-black wine in the bowl.
Deep alcohol-leather-pipe tobacco-chanterelle aromas when I swirl. Many lovely spindly legs run down the sides of the bowl and back to that inky pool of tantalizingly rich, "dangerous, dark woods forbidden" purple.
The first sip brings huge wild cherries to mind -- but these cherries must have been fire-roasted and spiced with black pepper, cloves, then mixed with tart red plums, a single just-barely-ripe raspberry, and a handful of sun-kissed blueberries all macerated in pure Madagascar vanilla.
This is ambrosia worthy of wild boar, venison, the boldest, richest steak of all time -- no tender cuts for this big wine.
The finish: LOOOOOONG. Not complex, but delightful even if one note. One long, alcohol-hot note of goodness to remind one that this was oak-barrel aged and will grow and grow and grow if cellared. — 8 years ago
