Caramel butter, dried stone fruit on nose. Great core of acidity balanced by bbq'd nectarine, sulfured dried apricot fruit and dry-sour hibiscus tannins. What a lovely wine for a special birthday. Most excellent!

This bottle may have been slightly off, as the color was darker than I think it should have been, and the acidity level was alarmingly high, enough to throw off the balance somewhat. It still drank well, but the apparent sweetness was overwhelmed by acidity. It still retained great depth and complexity.

Medium viscosity, Amber in color, wonderful nose of butterscotch, orange blossom, pine, caramel. Palate similar, and is stunning. Acid was present, and could have used a touch more for my tastes. Very long finish. My favorite of the Tokaji tonight.

Very dark, with orange peel, tangerine, cinnamon, nutmeg, peach. Blistering acidity, very advanced seeming. Tasty, as always.
