Furmint, The Oddity, Tokaj – 2009 – Hot Picks – Value White – The SOMM Journal
“Curiosity kills cats, but it can reward jaded wine lovers. In this dry white, you can experience the pure taste of the Furmint grape sans the botrytised flavor of sweet Aszú – like seeing a woman you love without makeup. The nose is floral and honeyed, sweetened by a touch of toasty oak (imagine a pear tatin in the oven); on the palate, the honeyed fruit is zipped up by a squeeze of lemon and enveloped by a flowing, fleshy, glycerine mouthfeel.”
