Alex Hunt: Broad nose of melon and pear, with some vague spicy notes adding lift. While the palate is fat, it does have bright enough acidity—and yet it misses some precision of flavor. Furmint can be so incisive and invigorating, and this is relatively diffuse - 13.5

Andrew Jefford: Pale green-gold. Dry, leafy, refined, fresh, and elegant. No real fruits; more a quiet presence of stone and plants: moist, still days in the broad-leaf forest. Dry, acid, yet tonguecoating, with that same very adult, very gastronomic, very European flavor profile. Intense, long and true - 15

Mark Savage: Slight chemical attack on nose initially, but it will disappear with time in bottle, no doubt. Dry minerally character rather than any floral kind of perfume. Dry on palate, with acidity and alcohol a little more prominent than fruit at present - 13
