The white wine Szepsy Furmint Szent Tamás “46”, vintage 2017 from the winery Szepsy István has been rated in 2023 by Wojciech Bońkowski with 93 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Furmint from the region Tokaj
In the current state of dry Tokaji, Szepsy might not be the trend-setter he once was, but when he gets things right, he still plays in the top league. It is often the case with his special selection from the Szt. Tamás cru, made from vines planted back in 1957. This is one of the most expensive and powerful Furmints on the market, its dark, salty, almost flinty expression of terroir akin to Alsace’s Rangen de Thann. There is plenty of oak and ripeness, but balancing acid as well.
