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

Smells nutty and earthy, like crushed roasted chestnuts. Spicy mulberry and blueberry with cocoa powder. Very unusual.

Way past its time. Just alcohol left. A nice tobacco nose but all flavor is gone. Apparently 13 years is too long for Blaufränkisch.

Full-bodied and smooth. Slightly acidic but good cranberry, blueberry & blackberry notes. Earthy with a good level of tannins.
