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.
