2000 Bock Capella Cuvée   Cabernet Sauvignon-Cabernet Franc, Villány

What a lovely wine this is from Hungary, with its heady cedar/cigarbox and plum aromas and elegant, plush flavors. Soft tannins, good structure, and ageability add to the wine's appeal. Complexity without a headache--a wine with class. — S.K. (8/1/2007)

RATING  87   
2000 Bock Royal Cuvée   Bordeaux Blend, Villány

A great example of what can be done with Bordeaux-style wines in Hungary. Heady and deep spice and plum aromas are followed by a restrained, elegant mesh of soft fruit and pepper in the mouth. Integrated and poised. — S.K. (8/1/2007)

RATING  87  
2003 Gere Attila Barrique Cabernet Sauvignon, Villány

Soft and integrated aromas and taut flavors of blackberry, blackcurrant and smoke give this French-style wine class and poise. Its dry, clean quality, good structure and flavorful fruit means it will age well, but drink now and you will not be disappointed. Another thumbs up for Hungarian winemaking. — S.K. (8/1/2007)

RATING 86 
2003 Gere Attila Kopár Cuvée   Bordeaux Blend, Villány

Hungarian red wines continue to impress, and this selection from Villany is no exception. Soft and elegant fruit aromas are followed by restrained pepper and spice on the palate. The wine is a touch angular in its tautness but with food, will be a hit. — S.K. (8/1/2007)
