Hi Guys,
This wine has an excellent price/quality ratio.
If you want to age the wine for 1-4 more years that should not be a problem. I would say aging it for 5-10 years might be pushing it. The reason you may not taste a lot of “acidity” is because it underwent malolactic fermentation which only enhanced its character. The acids are there but they are much “rounder”.
It is a smart buy ;^) Enjoy!

Hi,

I didn’t taste it earlier but it’s in pretty good shape right now and although I’m always very careful with this, I think this Kereklevelű has another 1-2 years of aging potential. I only wish it had a bit more acidity, then I would say let’s keep a few bottles for 5-10 years…

And btw, what about the more recent vintages? Are they any good near to this one?

Hi,

I discovered this Áldozóhegyi Kereklevelű two years ago. I bought it in Maligán for 900 HUF or so (just to try it). When I tasted it I was so surprised that I tryed two more bottles immediately. They were perfect so I bought a larger amount and fortunately I have still a couple of bottles of it.

I totally agree with your review about the wine. It is a rustic one, but sometimes I definitely need that kind of “heavy fuel”. And the price was ridiculous.
