Description
Delicious aromas of honey, orange, apricot and a hint of ginger, much enjoyment comes through just smelling these intense Tokajis. Plenty of depth on the palate, viscous and mouth coating. Fine acidity freshens the palate, feels light on its feet rather than at all cloying. Lovely oily finish which leaves you wanting more. The flavours roll on and on and I defy anyone to not be impressed by this. Drink 2022 – 2040+.
