I think that Gróf Buttler’s Kadarka 2005 (400-500 m) is no longer available in stores, I even heard rumors that Bukolyi would buy back some of them if someone would want to get rid off some bottles (get in the queue, mate!).
Medium ruby in the glass with a brickie-pink rim, this wine is intense on the nose with primarily raspberry-syrup and earth elements. Later fresh red meat mingled with a candy accent.
The wine has impressive velvety tannins, quite elegantly styled just like the whole wine. It’s a small-bodied wine with a pleasant creaminess and a good structure. And nice acidity too: fresh, almost sparkling. A little bit fleshy on the palate too, but dominantly fruity with berry fruits and stewed cherry but with a candy undertone.
Another Gróf Buttler wine which can be fully enjoyed already right after opening.
Score: 6+, 7-
Price: HUF 5 000-6000
