Aureus – intense and vibrant!

If you stay there, it is a must to taste Aureus Cuvée, the flagship wine of the estate. Tamlyn Currin wine writer of JancisRobinson.com has recently evaluated nearly 100 Hungarian wines. Gere Tamás & Zsolt Aureus Cuvée 2012 ended up being the best red blend with 17 points and she predicts an ageing potential until 2026. “Rich caramelised-fruit nose. Plums and damsons, moving into the dried-fruit and Christmas-spice spectrum with bright flecks of candied orange peel and dried apricots. Caraway seeds. Pretty vigorous tannins – I wonder what they were like eight years ago! It might even benefit from being decanted. But it has aged with grace and is certainly far from senescent. There is also a long, cool freshness running the spine. Intense, vibrant, velvet and black stones.”
