Bright golden yellow in colour, this is a fragrant and aromatic wine speciality. The nose is dominated by botrytis notes from the hand-picked aszú berries, and subtle hints of oak with ripe and dried apricots, exotic fruits and honey. The palate is full, intense, delicately sweet and extremely rich: crystal-clear fresh and dried fruit, quince, orange, small ripe autumn pears. The long finish displays some vanilla flavours reflecting the barrel ageing. An exciting, clean aszú from an exceptional vintage with great ageing potential. Serve chilled at 10-14 °C

Food pairing: as a dessert on its own, to round off an exciting dinner or even a champagne dinner. It can also be an exciting pairing with mature cheeses, blue cheeses, subtly smoked, cured hams.
