Egri Bikavér Bulls Blood
Eger, Eszak-Magyarorszag, Hungary
An amazingly similar nose to a left bank Bordeaux meets Dolcetto. Perfume, red cherry. Dry, med (-) acidity, med body, med alcohol. Short finish. But a delightful walk-around wine. How is this not more popular?

Med ruby, cherry, black pepper. Med acidity, med tannins and body. Med - alcohol. Med + finish. Not bad for its price point!

Smooth and feels like a quick dive but not a loud splash

Plum and blackberry nose. I had tried bulls blood before and this was surprisingly smooth, low tannin. A little tart in middle, clean finish.

Lots of fruit and a hint of black pepper. A good reasonably priced red blend.

Very nice red for September, known as the only decent Hungarian table wine. Personally I've loved it since I was in college (when it was all I could afford). Smells like mineral all the way; think slate. Tastes like black pepper and had a smooth, dry finish. The color is unremarkable *shrug* it's red. Pairs exceptionally with cold Bon Chon chicken! The meat heightens the austerity of the wine.
