2017 Tokaji, Szt. Tamás, 6 Puttonyos, Aszú, Royal Tokaji, Hungary

Description

One of the highest vineyards overlooking Mád, adjacent to Nyulászó. Typically honeyed, yet with inviting fruit characteristics too – exotic melon through to boldly sharp lemon, giving a racier edge to the wine’s seriously long finish. A lovely Tokaji, to enjoy with foods, or indeed without, and at pretty much any time of day. Really very impressive, and a commendably low abv of just 10.5%.

Critics reviews

Neal Martin MW 95/100
The 2017 Tokaji Szt. Tamás 6-Puttonyos comes from red-clay topsoils in the commune of Mád. This is more backward compared to the Mézes Mály, and very much more citrus-driven, featuring lemon peel, orange zest and crushed stone aromas; the Aszú element is more discreet. The fresh, vibrant palate is well balanced and harmonious, offering a fine bead of acidity and candied orange peel toward the finish. Edgier than Royal Tokaji's other 2017s, and perhaps spicier on the finish, this will be fascinating to observe mature in bottle. 3,635 bottles produced.Drink 2027 - 2050Neil Martin, Vinous.com.com (Sep 2021)
