Tasting notes
Full bottle 1,471 g. One of Roland Velich's 'hidden treasures' Hungarian range. Much less piercing nose than the 2020. But wonderfully pure and linear on the palate. I think you'd have to be a fan of Riesling and/or Furmint to love this. Underneath there is definitely some passion-fruit flavour and depth and length here. A really distinctive, interesting wine. I'd love to see this with more bottle age; I suspect it may last longer than my drinking window suggests. (JR)

One of Moric's 'hidden treasures' series of collaborations, this time featuring Villa Tolnay (a winery founded in 2004 by Swiss owner Philipp Oser and located in the former villa of actress Klari Tolnay) on the north shore of Lake Balaton in neighbouring Hungary. Stunning. Delicate herbal notions on the nose give way to a taut and edgy palate, marked with the drying nuttiness and contoured philosophy of the Furmint. Fine citrus flavour coated with a bit of creamy yellow fruit on the edges. Deep and dense and will benefit significantly from decanting. Not a natural charmer but I'd gladly drink this all day long. (PS)
Very striking dried-herb, fennel and white-tea nose. Ripe and juicy, in spite of the light-footed palate, but with striking wild-herb and mineral intensity at the long, structured finish. Drink or hold.
