KNW Jazz Superior Bikavér 2020, Eger

Nimród Kovács, the owner of the winery decided to include his Bikavér in the line of music-related wines along with Soul, Rhapsody, Max, Cool and Dixie. Meaning that the term Bikavér is not the first thing to address you from the label, but it is a true Bikavér corresponding with the regulations and expressing the terroir of Eger. Superior Bikavér wines should be made of at least 5 grape varieties, and have to be aged for 12 months in oak and 6 months in bottle. (Read more about the regulation here.)
The wine is made of Kékfrankos, Syrah, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc and Merlot.
Vince panel tasting note:
“Dark ruby colour. Good intensity on the nose with notes of toasted nuts, spices, toast, sour cherry, plum, cherry and a pinch of paprika. Full bodied, juicy, concentrated wine with uplifting acidity and silky tannins. The palate reveals black berry fruits. A wine that is already enjoyable, and it still has a long ageing potential. Long finish.”
The retail price at Monarchia wine store is only 6490 HUF (17-18 EUR)!
