This is an elegant, modern aszú with light golden colour. Great complexity on the nose: alongside the botrytised notes of hand-picked and selected aszú berries it offers peach, orange peel, hard candy, figs and exotic flowers. The palate is crystal clear, with fresh and dried fruit, orange, quince, pear and apricot notes. Moving on to the finish, white chocolate and vanilla flavours reflecting the barrel ageing emerge, and the bright acidity makes the wine round and persistent. An outstanding Tokaj wine with great potential. The 2017 Aszú was aged for several years in Zemplén oak barrels of various sizes and then in bottle in the exceptional tranquillity of our 5.5 km long Szegi Cellar.
