Konyári – Cabernet Sauvignon, 2008

This is not the review of the great red wine I promised after this post. I decided that would be a longer post which needs a bit more time.

About this Cabernet Sauvignon from southern Balaton: medium dark with a purplish core and pale red rim. Fruity bouquet with ripe sour cherry, ripe forest fruit and especially blackcurrant notes at the rear. This fruityness disappears quickly making place for a tannic, woody bouquet. Firm, grippy tannin on the palate too, a little bit tart. Layered wine, fundamentally very dry but with a sweet sensation above the scratchy tannins. Young and crisp acidity like white wines have. Very dry yet fairly full of overripe fruity notes, black pepper and a hint of tobacco at the finish.

Score: I forgot to rate this wine but as far as I can tell this was well worth the HUF 2000 (with Hungarian standard at least).

Price: HUF 2000
