Vylyan, Pinot Noir, Villány, Dél-Pannónia, Hungary, 2014

This Pinot Noir from Hungarian producer Vylyan is an example of the quality matching up to the country's rich history in wine making. The nose is smoky and mossy with hints of spice. It entices with complex flavours of cassis, certainly, but also wet leaves and Chinese imperial tea (Pu'er).
