Sauska
Cuvée 11 Red Blend
Villány, Dunántú, Hungary
Finally a decent Hungarian red.
Bordeaux blend with a splash of Kekfrankos.
So Bordeaux like that blind I would have taken this straight for right bank - Castillon or St. Emilion.
Dark plums & cassis with a decent woody note.
On the palate with nice balance, grippy yet polished tannins and nice flow. Purity of fruit and nice depth. Highly drinkable even though the 15.0% alc slightly sticks out towards the finish
A nice one even if international in style.

More fruity than most Bordeaux-style blends from Hungary. Very solid wine to pair with duck or red meat.

May 27th, 2017Beatiful deep red glowing color. Smell of darkred Fruit and a bit of earth. A bit clised Smell. The taste is nice with Good but smooth tanniner. Nice frutiy taste of raspberry and a bit against sour cherry. Middle body. After a while in the glass more dark fruity and more wellbalanced fruitacides and complexity shows (2013 vintage)

Thought it was horrible, but didn't allow to aerate properly.
