James Suckling
"Taste a piece of history with the 100% Furmint cuvée from Domaine Oremus, the very first Tokaj vineyard to produce great whites!"
"It's dry and flinty, with waxed lemons, apple slices, cream and beeswax. Medium- to full-bodied, it's crisp and stable, with lively acidity running through it, yet showing ripe fruit and creaminess. Lingering finish. Drink now. (James Suckling 2023)
