It has a nose of honeysuckle and ripe cantaloupe melon and fills the palate with honey, peach and sticky marmalade flavours. There’s a great backbone of acidity to keep everything from being too cloying and a hint of earthy botrytis to add a slight savoury element.

according to importer this is fermented more like traditional dry wine (with less rigorous picking) rather than adding aszú berries to base wine.
less massive than a 5 Puttonyos as expected, but no less convincing or confident. Nose is just mesmerizing. And possibly my first time noticing so much non-fruit flavor from a sweet wine - like to think it's the soil and elegant style. 91+

Deep golden color. Drank a small glass over 20 minutes. Ripe, tropical, passionfruit city, mango, orange chiffon. Lighter medium bodied, balanced. Delicious.

Agree with gillmorphean: spot on tasting note. Paired with Baklava - great QPR and very refreshing/tasty.

Delicious. Drank by itself did not pair. Very overwhelming honey and melon.

Vie's Anniversary Week Dinner (Vie, Western Springs): Delicate bouquet of peach and stone fruit notes. The palate follows the bouquet. Nice balancing acidity.
