Good entry level Kékfrankos: Koch 2017

Let’s forget how ridiculous is to call a 3€ wine “premium”… this is very basic of course but it’s good for what it is. Continue reading →

Image ~ January 2, 2021 ~ Zoltán Németi ~ Leave a comment

A newcomer to the Hungarian wine scene. You can tell from the eye-catching design that it’s a low intervention wine – and it tastes like that indeed.

Bakonyi Kékfrankos 2017, Villány, Hungary

Image ~ December 9, 2020 ~ Zoltán Németi ~ Leave a comment

The first vintage of the wine. The 2018 is more serious, but priced a bit higher and not yet ready to drink, as opposed to this one. I would happily drink this now. Continue reading →

So cheap, will it be drinkable? Ostoros Egri Kékfrankos 2019

Image ~ November 26, 2020 ~ Zoltán Németi ~ Leave a comment

Just a bit above 1 Euro it’s by far the cheapest wine I bought in the last 10-15 years, and it’s not the worst. Actually it’s not bad at all, I kinda like it.

A modern, well made Egri Bikavér: Böjt 2016

I attended Borjour’s so called Bikavér Duel event in March, where the two wine regions eligible to use the name Bikavér showcased their wines. Eger impressed me a bit more than Szekszárd, especially the Böjt 2016. I bought a bottle the next week.
