100% Hárslevelű from Hungary’s Somló region. Deep gold color showing the age. Wet hay and dried apricot nose with honey undertone. Also reminds me of the sweet burnt caramel aromas of creme brûlée. On the palate sweet tropical fruit acidity (mango, pineapple), mineral and earth throughout. Heavy weight and plenty of texture puts this in the same league as some of the best Burgundy whites. From @sommselect dot com: This wine is farmed and crafted by Fekete Béla who is a 90-something-year-old unsung magician that turned a few acres of an ancient volcanic hillside terroir into thought-provoking wines with fathomless depth. It really is the work of a magician. — 6 years ago
Skapat av den snart 94-årige Fekete Béla på vulkaniska bergsknallen Somlói. Skimrande gyllene färg. Rik och inbjudande doft fylld med blommor, nougat, honung, hasselnöt, halm, äppelpaj. Doftar väldigt mkt som vällagrad champagne. Fyllig med smak av röda äpplen, stenfrukt, honung, anis, lime. Skyhög och lång syra tillsammans med en flintis mineral inramning. — 6 years ago

Interesting and complex wine. A bitter rose/copper colored. Accessible and easy to drink with quite some tropical fruit, but also some butter and toast. Acidity for enough bite and velvety for pairing with rich fish. — 6 years ago
Big buttery nutty almost spicy. Strange and scrumptious. — 7 years ago
Expressive, full of finesse and elegance, straight and delicious fresh acidity, a nice surprise, refined Riesling - Egon Müller has discovered the potential of wines in the Château Béla area in Slovakia and makes a dry Riesling which objective is to challenge the best Rieslings from Austria and the Alsace region. The first vintage was 2001 😋👍 — 10 years ago
