My first Furmint! Deep acid supports scents reminding of a beautiful Eau de Parfum. I expected a light mouthfeel, but was surprised with by its silky, almost Chardonnay-buttery, mouthfeel. Taste similar to the nose, but with tobacco undertones. Unlike any white I’ve had; absolutely delightful! Don’t think, just drink! Thank you #iancauble!

Delicious. Love the petrol nose, balanced, lively palate, and an ever so slight bounce on the tongue. Loved this somm at Trattoria Pomo D'Oro, who is there 7 years, and is also a coffee tastemaker.

Jan 29th, 2021Fantastic with our Tikka Masala. Nuanced with a lovely dryness but tastes honey in the mouth. Leaning towards an oxidized vibe. Into it

Solid Furmint, especially with some fried chicken from Slim Chickens.

Oct 15th, 2018One of the most compelling whites I’ve had in quite some time. Now if only I had another case lying around here 🤔 Thankfully SommSelect (Ian Cauble’s gig) still has some residual stock from their initial offer a month ago. Delicate nose of overripe/bruised pear, overripe peach, granite/slate, mild white pepper, honeysuckle, jasmine, and slight menthol. On the palate restrained finesse with subdued candied tropical fruits, moist river rocks, and ever-so-slight citrus zest. Love this stuff. Paired well with yet another Thai dinner.
