2007 Hungary

Visually the colour is nothing out of the ordinary, a lemon yellow, golden colour.  It is when you pour into the glass, the curiosity is peaked as the richness is hinted at in the rich viscosity of the liquid.  Tangerine, pineapple, Satsuma, peach, honeyed apricot all leap from the glass through restrained by a youthful florality of freesia and orange blossom.  The palate continues the story, so rich that words falter, the marmalade richness coats the entire mouth, it is almost like consuming a liquid dessert.  They place a hand-made crystal spoon in with each bottle, as that is all you need to end any meal, just a hint or sip of this hedonistic wine.  A cerebral drink to be savoured; it is delicious now but will appreciate with time and last for 100 years-plus.
