This was my WOW wine of the week. Not a wine of great complexity but it blew my socks off for its elegance and balance even at 15.5% abv! I know it's hard to believe but this wine skillfully and successfully argues that high alcohol wines can be balanced. I pegged it at 13% with no heat or prickle. The wine was neutral on the nose and mineral driven with restrained pear, melon, and carnation on the nose. Tasted blind it lacked the weight of Chardonnay and aromas of Pinot Grigio and Chenin blanc but the lemon green color was spot in for all three. High acid had me leaning toward Chenin.

I had the good fortune to have spent time with István Szepsy Jr. while in Tokaji's Mád village, from which this wine takes its name. This is a late harvest Furmint-Hárslevelű endowed with pungent botrytisized aromas of dried mango, yellow peach, apricot, orange blossom and nougatine, it's profile on the nose mirrors that of that palate. What is perhaps defining about these wines is, aside from the stunning value of price for quality, is the cascading minerality that carves a canyon through lush layers of fruit and spice. 11.0% ABV | Sample — 8 years ago

Very viscous. Tried it after drinking a nice Pinot Grigio. Bits of apricot and fruit. Not too sweet. — 10 years ago
