Pineapple and honey aromas jump out of the glass and are joined by softer notes of dried apricot and orange blossom. This medium amber colored wine offers flavors of orange marmalade, apricot tart, honeycomb, rose petal, nutmeg and almond paste. Gorgeously textured, it has vibrant acidity that is well matched to its high level of sweetness. Drink–2043. — Mike DeSimone, Wine Enthusiast

A gorgeous, gossamer-weight sweetie, creamy in texture yet beautifully balanced by vivid, mouthwatering acidity. Flavors of tangerine and mango explode on the palate, accented by rich hints of toffee and roasted hazelnut and fragrant notes of jasmine, lemon oil, black tea leaf and pickled ginger. Reveals a briny tang of iodine that cleans the lasting finish. Furmint, Hárslevelü, Zéta and Sárga Muskotály. Drink now through 2036. 2,056 cases made, 272 cases imported.—Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator

Luscious and voluptuous, this is a classic Tokaji Aszú wine that's also very indicative of the vintage. Tropical aromas dominate, with fresh pineapple and passion fruit. Mouthcoating layers of apricot and honey are kept fresh by pithy bitterness and driven acidity. The finish is long and very moreish. Fleshy, fruity and delicious.--Beth Willard, Decanter

Blend of Furmint, Hárslevelü, Zéta and Sárgamuskotály.
Pale apricot colour. Very rich and dusty on the nose – like magic dust! Really fresh and not heavy. Very pure and fresh but with lots of sweetness too and substantial grip on the finish still. This should run and run.—Jancis Robinson
