MA'D Tokaji Furmint
Tokaj, Eszak-Magyarorszag, Hungary
One of the bottles I brought back in my luggage, the 2012 MÁD Tokaj Dry Furmint is exactly as advertised, bone dry. Furmint is a non-aromatic white, in this style what shines through is complexity and minerality. Nuanced aromas of walnut skins, burnished pear, golden apple and a sort of golden-hued, bordering on oxidative noblesse that I enjoy so much in aged Champagne. It's equally nuanced on the palate, with texture that communicates depth, subtlety and soil. Pomace and chalk and clay. Bitter almond. White grapefruit rind. It's all there. 13.0% ABV | Sample

Sep 2nd, 2016Dry balanced white wine, similar level of dryness to a brut champagne with an almost oak taste at the start. The nose mirrors the flavor closely.
