Vincze Béla Arcanum Cabernet Franc 2005
Lovely Cabernet Franc nose, with fine black fruit, a refined Sandalwood character and all sorts of garrigue-like notes. Particularly sweet, fat, ripe blackcurrant fruit and very ripe tannins. Fine, long and a terrific wine 91/100.

Vincze Béla Cabernet Sauvignon 2002
Quite a mineral nose, with a touch of sulphury quality, but also a little bit underripe perhaps. On the palate fairly lean, certainly lacking the flesh and ripeness of the Cabernet Franc. Good structure through, and the juicy tannins do add a defining edge. Growing on me a little but needs just a little more ripeness of fruit. 88/100
