Malatinszky Kúria Cabernet Franc 2013

A mind-blowing cabernet franc that conclusively proves that cabernet franc has a new home in Hungary, and is also the finest Hungarian red wine I’ve ever encountered. Super-concentrated and super-priced, this has amazing fragrance and freshness for a nearly 9-year-old wine. Thanks to the super-fine tannins, this glides over the palate and off towards infinity. Such delicate wild-berry sweetness at the finish. From organically grown grapes. Unfiltered. Drink or hold. Score – 98. (jamessuckling.com, Aug. 9, 2022)
