Egri Leányka Superior 2016
Fresh and youthful in the glass, this golden colour wine has a late harvest nose. Quince, dried apricot, apple skin and dates are all present on the nose with a very special character, also shows on the palate. The fruit follows in the same order as before, but the brisk acidity overrides the sweetness. Nevertheless, the sweetness of the alcohol is still present in the background. In fact, the vanilla flavours on the finish add to this sensation. Very long finish.
