Beautiful wine. Strong aromas of orange peel, flowers, honey, quince. Full texture, piercing acidity, good finish. Paired with chocolates for a friend. Very good with white.

Amazing wine but I definitely killed it too early and too late in the night, if you know what I mean. Acidity was high and delicious, balanced by nuttiness and ripe fruit.

Light Apricot & pineapple, decent acid up front, slightly sugary finish. 50cl was £12 from Sainsburys. I prefer their 37.5cl Sauterns for the same price.

NYEve at friends'. Brought by a fellow diner, another light style à la mode of Tokay, but this time at least delivers on the "Late Harvest" description (unlike a recently noted underwhelming 5putt St. Stephan's Crown example). Pineapple and tropical fruit-led, very much in the style of a sound if slightly sugary Mosel spätlese. Saved by decent acidity. Mimicry I suppose is a complement, but I still yearn for the dark rich (?agricultural) full bodied cold war style of Tokay. Progress!?? Drink young over the next 12 months.

not on par with the puttonyos releases from this winery, but an enjoyable after dinner apricot and honey blend.
