What a wonderful Tokaji this is. I always love coming back to this one. It is only 3 puttunyos, meaning the sugar content is much less than those in the 5 to 6 puttunyos levels, close to the style of a German Auslese. Sweet pineapple, peaches and apricots dominate the pallet, with a lovely unpasteurized honey lacing, tying it all together in a neat bow of mouthwatering acidity, unique oily and creamy mouthfeel, and a deep golden color signifying a wine of royalty. For sure butts heads with the best of Sauternes!

Dec 5th, 2015Had this in a side by side with a Sauternes to compare, and I was very impressed! On the lesser end of Tokaj for sugar content, and yet maintaining a pleasurable sweetness. Tropical and stone fruits, with a honeysuckle on the nose, and unpasteurized honey on the pallet and even a light ripe banana undertone, but unlike the Sauternes did not exhibit a creamy note. Instead, showed a lighter, faster finished making it somewhat easier to drink faster. Definitely enjoyed this, and if you haven't ever had a Tokaj you definitely should try one!
