Alex Hunt: Quite aggressive grassy tones jarring against a cardboardy flatness—aromatically, this hasn’t found its center. The palate is brisk and appealing, if quite light and simple - 13.5
Andrew Jefford: Silver-green in color. Celery and green plum, with some vanilla sweetness, too. Another dry and searching wine, crisp, with some very shy pear fruits here; some mineral salts on the finish. A different soil type to [Royal Tokaji Mézes Mály Furmint (Dry) 2011]? This is a slightly more accessible style— almost sippable on its own, indeed. A perfect introduction to the Dry Furmint style - 16
Mark Savage: Very immediately alluring perfume, with expressive notes of ripe peach, nice underlying acidity, and unobtrusive alcohol. Not one to confuse with a white Burgundy, since the fruit character is more assertive here. Dry, but an impression of underlying sweetness on the palate too. Most attractive - 16.5
