SZEKSZÁRDI BIKAVÉR
(BULL’S BLOOD) |
The dark purple hue indicates a young wine,
and this impression is certainly borne out by crisp fruit aromas
on the nose. Both the tannins and the acids seem to have attained
optimum ripeness on the palate. The taste is rounded out by
fresh red fruit flawors.

The wine has remained faithful to its essential
character, and also to the good Szekszárd tradition that stresses
purity on the nose and energy on the palate. The refreshing
spicy flavours are complemented gracefully by the oak, which
is better integrated here than in the 1999 due to the benefit
of barrique that had already been used once before. This eminently
age-worthy blend turned out to be both fruiterer and better
equalized than its predecessor.

| SZEKSZÁRDI MERLOT |
Warm and mellow in appearance with orange
discoloration around the edges, and an animal note mixed with
hints of poppy seeds on the nose. The wine seems dry but entirely
mature on the pallet with prune and overripe blackberry flowers.
The structure is smooth enough, but the acids seem poised on
the verge of decline.
