More madfrickle from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. I have had this wine in previous vintages and liked it a lot. It has always represented quite a good value in a dessert wine.

I've been fond both of their Tokaji (5 or 6 putts) and their dry furmint, ever since they first became available when the Iron Curtain fell. Haven't bought any lately, though.

I love them too, Sipped many a four button on the banks of the Danube!
