Decanter had a special supplement on Hungarian wines this year. They
tasted both wines availble in the UK, and some that were not exported
were tasted in Hungary. Most of the tasters in Hungary were from
Decanter's sister title in Hungarian. All of the best wines in the
tastings were tasted in Hungary and not exported, at least to the UK.

Here are some of the reds they liked and rated as 4 out of 5 star.

Figula Mihaly , Figula Cabernet Sauvignon, Balatonfured 2003;

Weninger Soproni, Kekfrankos Selection, Weninger Pinceszet Balf 2002;

Demeter Pinceszet, Cabernet Franc, Eger 2000;

Gere Attila, Villanyi Merlot Solus, Villany 2002;

Szende Pince, Szende Cuvee, Villany 2000;

They also mentioned several white wines. If you can bring yourself to
taste one, a wine that comes from close to Budapest might be
interesting. You might try Nyakas, Pince Etyek, Budai Cuvee 2002.

I have tasted none of these wines, so if you do not like them, complain
to Decanter :-) .
