Sean O'Regan rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Jan 31, 2015: Furmint is well known for producing sweet wines from Hungary but less common for this dry wine offering. Medium yellow with a green tint, the nose offers green apple, honeydew melon and a smoky/flinty note. Medium full on the palate and good acidity with honey, apple and lemon citrus flavors. The fruit is a bit lean for the level of alcohol though and finishes a little hot and bitter. Chill well and serve along with sushi or grilled chicken. 86/87
Heather Wall rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Furmint is a white grape variety grown especially in Hungary, close to the Slovenian border. It is the principal grape used to produce the dessert wine Tokaji. Half the blend in this wine spent time in oak which accounts for the smokey nuance over the fruit. Fresh apple, pear, cirtrus,stone fruit, melon, grapes, minerality, flint. The palate is smooth with zippy acidity and dry. Long cleansing finish. Drinking well now but a year or two in the cellar will reward you. Pair with grilled salmon, grilled egg plant, deep fried prawns.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
