Tokaji Aszú 5 puttonyos sweet 2017
A wine with very complex, exquisite aromas it is composed of botrytis from the shrivelled aszú berries and features peach, orange peel, brittle, figs, exotic flowers with a touch of dill at the end. Sampling the wine it has a very clear fruity flavour with orange, quince, pear and apricot notes along with an appearance of white chocolate and vanilla essence. The acids keep the wine round and lengthy. The finish is of a lime-grapefruit aroma that lingers long in the mouth with a mature coffee aftertaste thanks to barrel-aging process. This is a truly fine Tokaj wine with great potential and a long phase of evolution ahead.
Serving temperature:10-12°C
