Furmint, The Oddity, Tokaj – 2006 – 87 points – The Wine Advocate
87 points
“It is not surprising that when they turned their attention to dry wine, their 2006 Furmint would be worthy of wine lovers’ attention. Pineapple, lime zest, musky flowers, and wood smoke scent the nose. On the palate, this displays the phenolic cut and refreshing citricity as well as the subtly bitter oiliness common to virtually all Furmint. But there is a satisfying sheer juiciness here that allows the bitter-sweet nutty and zesty side of the variety to add complexity rather than dominate the proceedings. Enjoy this distinctive and intensely-flavored wine over the coming year, particularly in strongly herbal, citric, or charred and grilled food contexts.”
