Peeing into the wind

Sorry, but that’s what it is drinking red wines from Eger region from the harvest of 2001. It’s like people buying Rolling Stones records today, trying to recapture the magic of 1965 although they should know… I had this Cabernet Franc from the late Tibor Gál and

the truth is that based on a typically franc smell it could have been a surprise, in a good way. The franc-ish taste quickly turns into harsh tannins and some bitterness. I appreciate the latter in ales but not so much in wines. Then I left it to breath for 2 hours and ate something with it and that helped a little bit. I must taste the newer ones because there’s some hope in it, I sense it.
