Tasting when mature (winter 2021/2022):
  • Color: Medium yellow
  • Smell: Still a bit restrained, flowers and herbs in the smell. Also some tertian components, dried fruit, hey and petrol.
  • Taste: Soft, very agreeable taste, slender and elegant, not showy but fine straightforward after taste without any bitterness.
  • Judgment: Has hold up nicely against age, but do consume within a couple of years.
 
Tasting soon after bottling (summer 2016):
  • Color: Light yellow
  • Smell: Shy, soft smell from - yes tussilago (martilapu in Hungarian) and wood anemones (fa kökörcsin), well made pure and fresh, herbs and flowers.
