Iványi Zsófia – Cabernet Franc (szüretlen), 2007
These Cabernet Franc grapes were harvested on the 27th November of 2007, which is a rather late date for this varietal. Often cited as the most suitable variety to Villány these Francs must result in a big fat red wine.
Rather pale ruby. The nose is jammy raspberry with hints of blackberry and strawberry marmalade. Sweet, but not too dense. Very fresh palate, without any character. Medium-bodied wine with too harsh tannins and acidity. It’s a pity, I’d been really looking forward to tasting this wine.
Disappointing wines often stay opened for a day or, like this one, sometimes three. Miraculously, this wine turned into a well-integrated, lovely wine with a soft, velvety texture and spicy chocolate aromas on the nose. Just give it 72 hours.
Score: 4-/5
Price: HUF 4 000

It didn’t change that much flavour-wise in 3 days time, however the structure got much better. As long as I’m concerned I think too many Hungarian wines require too much organisation to give enough pleasure. As an everyday consumer I prefer straightforward, ready-to-drink wines, most of the time.
