2008
Intensive and dark purple, dense purple rim, powerful viscosity. Compact fragrance with blackberry confit, ink lead, smoked meat and chocolate chips. A continuous oscillation between ripe cherries and black currant, backed by delicate toasty aromas, some thyme and cedar wood.
Dry, Conan-structure, extract sweetness and a powerful, pleasant texture displaying aromas of roasted hazelnuts just before turning into nougat. Yet spicy-juicy, a hint of liquorice and dark fruits. A fiery, vibrating red wine with esprit and charming finish—and by the way—a price-performance-hero.
The idea of beet-root risotto with smoked or goat cheese almost as matching main dish almost suggests itself, medium roasted sirloin steak, rich brochettes “Puszta secret”, nevertheless perfect for vegetarians. Peperonata with smoked bacon or burger from pork cutlet. Penne with lentils, leak & parsley. Home-made cheese-caraway-sticks or nut bread with summer butter and smoked sea salt, to match ripe Pecorino or Emmental cheese matured in caves, and much more. In case, an open fire-place is not available, it also tastes deliciously in front of a Swedish stove.
