"This Tokaji is dark amber in color, with aromas of honeysuckle, peach and acacia flower. In the mouth there are flavors of clover honey, pear and baked sweet apples. Acidity is well balanced to the amount of sweetness."

"This is a great introduction to Tokaji Aszu at the beginning of its (very long) ideal drinking window. Stunning nose of lemon curd, dried peach and candied pineapple. Rich and creamy with a touch of marzipan character, but more importantly bright acidity and fine tannins that makes this so invigorating. Spot-on balance through the very long and bright finish. A blend of 75% furmint, 15% zeta and 10% harslevelu."
Jancis Robinson
"Aszú grapes 75% Furmint, 15% Zéta, 10% Hárslevelű, macerated in base wine and must of Furmint and Hárslevelű. Not a very hot vintage and late ripening with lots of acidity. A cooler, rainy September delayed the appearance of botrytis but ultimately a record number of Aszú berries were picked and 2013 was one of the richest Aszú vintages in Tokaj. Bottled in July but not yet released. RS 156 g/l, TA 7.6 g/l.
Heavy botrytis – much more than Sauternes. Heavy honey and green vegetation nose. Massive acidity on the palate and real grip. Youthful and sleek. Concentrated and dense and tense. Amazing youth and potential. Peach skins. Long. 18/20 points."
