Very complex wine, smells like berries and chocolate together, but still not too heavy, which is interesting since it's 14% alc. Really liked it.

Gold and sparkling green colour, apricot, citrus fruit, Muscat grapes. Complex on both the nose and palate. Linear, long acids and an elegant, easy-going palate.

Incredible red blend, flagship of Sebestyen winery from Szekszárd, Hungary. They blended Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sagrantino and Kekfrankos, all of them separately aged 24 months in oak barrels and then blended. Wine is crimson red, nose is lovely and with multi layers. Full body, plenty of cherries and spices, silky tannins with very long finish. Excellent

Clear, deep ruby colour. A fully developed, harmonious red blend from Szekszárd Region. Dry wine containing noticeable sweetness and smooth texture. Fruity (raspberry, blackcurrant, black cherry) in the nose completed with slight toast, coffee and tobacco on the palate. High but refreshing acidity, high tannin and alcohol. Long aftertaste with bitterish cherry seed.

Very worthwhile and interesting. Full bodied, well enjoyed when slightly chilled. Intriguing nose, sophisticated palate with dark fruit alongside notes of spices. Doesn’t feel too heavy either. Nice surprise and good value

VivinoAnthony Duckett2022-08-10

I really liked this. I thought it tasted French, in a good way. According to the Wine Society writeup it’s “An artful blend of merlot (48%), cabernet franc (34%), sagrantino (10%) and kékfrankos (8%), each aged separately in new and used French oak barrels for 24 months to add savoury character and soften the tannins, before blending and further ageing in bottle. Rich and brambly with the savoury graphite notes typical of cabernet franc, structure from sagrantino and freshness from the kékfranko

This one is special. Slightly vegetale. Velvety smooth on the pallette and balanced. I wouldn't call it crazy sessionable but I could get behind it for a few glasses🍷🍷🍷🍷🤙🤙👌👌👌

An elegant and smooth BDX blend of Kékfrankos, CF, Merlot, Sagrantino from Szekszárd to deliver the haromny of grapes and soil. Violet in the nose, then blackberry, vanilla, round and silky tannins, tobacco. Round and smooth with a looong and tannic finish.

Just another great blend from Sebestyén Csaba, Szekszárd. The ingredients of the cuvée have changed: Merlot, Cabernet Franc with Sagrantino, and a touch of Kékfrankos. After decanting: the nose is complex of black cherry, dark fruits, spices, tobacco, and violet. The sip is silky, well-balanced. Full-bodied and rich on the palate. Starts with lovely raspberry, plum, and spicy aromas, chocolate, some vanilla and woody notes on the back. Silky tannins and a very long finish. 4.2 stars to this wine

Really enjoyed this Hungarian Red (✅#421/684), a blend of merlot (48%), cab franc (34%), sagrantino (10%) & kékfrankos (8%), all aged separately in new & used French oak barrels for 2 years. As TWS states it has the savoury graphite notes of cab franc, structure from sagrantino & freshness from the kékfrankos. Brick red in colour, earthy herby fruity aromas, full bodied, high acidity, with flavours of blackberry, black cherry, raspberry & plum alongside velvety tannin & spicy pepper to finish. G

Almost as the previous Szenta hegyi Takler. The tannin is less developed in this one. Nonetheless, it is a more complex wine
