Villanyi Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2006 WINE-INFO

Cabernet Sauvignon is a real globetrotter, founds his home in nearly every wine country. Our Vintage 2006 is serious & respectful, needs a bit time to unfold. First the fruitiness with bright acidity comes, almost together with the massive structure & typical varietal character (notes of blackcurrants, plums and red pepper) bolstered by friendly tannins.

Villanyi Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

Grapes were harvested from south facing single vineyard Dobogo, with a very low yield. Specific to the variety and due to the oak barrel aging the tannins are marked but the wine is still well-rounded. The aromas are textbook-like: black-currant, prune, paprika and dark chocolate notes. The palate is warm and spicy with a long lingering. Makes a good choice for beef roasts and stews, best served at 16-17ºC.

Vylyan Cabernet Sauvignon 2004

It is not the usual heavy structure, but a loveable, fruity, medium body which shows in this vintage. Peculiar to the variety and to the 15 months of barrel aging, tannins are strong, but well-rounded. After decanting the fragrance opens up with layers of blackberry and subtle spice tones (aniseed, coffee, black chocolate and clove). Good choice for stews and roasts, best served at 16 - 18° C.

Vylyan Cabernet Sauvignon 2003

Balanced and complex wine with intense deep dark colour. It shows aromas of black cherries and blackberry melded with a hint of chocolate. The wine has ripe sweet tannins derived from the fully ripe grapes of 2003 vintage. It was matured for 16 months in Hungarian oak barrels and is capable of cellar aging. Good choice for beef steaks, heavier roasts and ripe cheeses. Best served at 16 - 18° C.

Vylyan Cabernet Sauvignon selection 2003

The oldest and best slope of our vineyard is located in the heart of Dobogo where the winery is placed.
This terroir and the extraordinary vintage gave the opportunity in our hands, to make this selection.
The wine was already outstanding in the cellar, so we made a blend from the best barrels, after 18 months ageing.
It is a very complex, ripe wine. After opening it needs a bit of airing and has a long aftertaste. Preferable with heavy roasts, steaks and red meat of venison and other game.

Vylyan Cabernet Sauvignon 2002

This is a full bodied, concentrated wine with black reflexes. Aerating the wine, it develops intensive nose of vanilla or praline, nicely complemented with scents of aniseed and tobacco. Prunes, blue forest fruit aromas are dominant on the palate. It was matured for 15 months in Hungarian oak barrels. Appropriate choice for beef steaks, heavier roasts and ripe cheeses, served at the temperature of 16-18 ºC.

Vylyan Cabernet Sauvignon 2001

Deep purple wine, complex and full bodied with the aromas of blackberries, blackcurrants and dark chocolate. Full bodied, concentrated wine with ripe tannins. Appropriate choice for heavier roasts, stews and game dishes.

Vylyan Cabernet Sauvignon 2000

This is a deep purple wine with an almost black tint in its colour. It has an apparent weight in its body, high, but very ripe tannins and medium acidity in its taste. Its strong fruity character is provided by dark, ripe fruits like plums and blackberries and is complemented with some smoky notes. In the 2000 vintage the keynote to wines is ripeness and maturity. It is robust, complex and well-balanced. Appropriate choice for heavier roasts, steaks and with the red meat of venison and other game.

Vylyan Cabernet Sauvignon selection 1999

It is an opaque, robust wine with a blackberry colour. After opening it needs a bit of airing. Its warm, perfume-like fragrance is dominated by blackberries, blackcurrant and blueberries. Beside fruits its bouquet and taste has notes of coffee, leather, chocolate, roasted aromas and ground black pepper. Because of its high tannin and acid content it is capable of long bottle aging. It is a very complex wine with long aftertaste. Preferable with heavy roasts, steaks and red meat of venison and other game.
