The two national stars according to the tasting panel

• Monopole Soul Syrah, Kovács Nimród Winery, Eger, 2013
  Deep purple-ruby colour. Rich, spicy nose with eucalypt, cranberries, blackberries and restrained oaky tones. Complex, wide spectrum wine with spices on the palate as well. Clove, pepper, nutmeg. Elegant wine typical of the variety. Vivid, zesty with outstanding structure and nice acidity. It has a long ageing potential.

• Vylyan Villányi Syrah, Vylyan Vineyard and Winery, Villány, 2013
  Deep ruby with garnet rim. Outstandingly intense nose full of ripened fruits: strawberry, strawberry jam, vanilla, coconut, cocoa and refined oaky tones. Ripe, rich and complex palate with fine tannins. Relatively high alcohol and lower acidity, still elegant and enjoyable to drink.
