Egri Bikavér Superior, 2021

“Beautiful nose with bright blue fruit, violets and lilacs, burnt orange peel. This is delicious, so fresh and lively with nerve and tensions and impressive lenghty minerality that gives the palate a chalkiness through the firm and textured finish. 94 points” James Suckling
