2017 Tokaji Aszu, Nyulaszo, 6 Puttonyos, Royal Tokaji Wine Company (500ml)

Spicy and earthy notes of ginseng, dried pineapple, candied citrus, fig and toffee apple. The sweetness is balanced and complemented by earthy, complex layers. Lots of spicy botrytis character. Extremely long. Complex and thought-provoking with so much dried-fruit and spicy flavor at the end. Dense and tight, yet agile. Delicious now, but if you give it another five or six years, you will see even more. 5,541 bottles produced. ~ (98) James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 2-3-2022

All the candied fruits you'd expect plus a kingdom of flowers adding complexity and lift. What a wine! This lines up all the expectations and knocks them out of the park. It's Fred Astaire, but backwards and in heels, as the adage goes. Incredible. ~ (19) Richard Hemming, JancisRobinson.com 12-21-2022

Aromas and flavors of baked nectarine, lemon tart, lime blossom and candied ginger melt on the palate of this graceful sweeter, with cotton candy-like texture, honed by a fine spine of sleek acidity and a tang of salinity. Drink now through 2032. 308 cases made, 33 cases imported. ~ (94) Wine Spectator, Wine Spectator 1-1-2021
