  • Lovely aszu!

  • A blend of Furmint (70 %) and Hárslevelű (30 %). Aged for 24 months in oak barrels. 10,5% alcohol, 160 g/l residual sugar and 8,9 g/l acidity.

    Luminous and quite pale coppery-orange color. Sweet, concentrated nose with intense aromas of caramel and orange marmalade, light honeyed tones, a little bit of dried pineapple, light sultana nuances, fruity hints of canned apricots and dried exotic fruits and a touch of mushroomy funk. The wine feels firm, lively and wonderfully crunchy on the palate with a medium body and very intense flavors of ripe lemony citrus fruits and grapefruit preserve, some honeyed tones, a little bit of canned pineapple, light orange marmalade tones, a hint of beeswax and a touch of pear jam. The overall feel is sweet, yet still remarkably structure-driven and light on its feet. The finish is sweet yet crisp, lively and zippy with intense flavors of lemony citrus fruits and honey, some apple jam, a little bit of steely minerality, light exotic notes of pineapple and dried apricots, a hint of Sultana raisins and a touch of caramel.

    A beautiful, harmonious and wonderfully zippy Tokaji that is remarkably crisp and acid-driven despite being so sweet in taste. Although the wine was wonderfully harmonious already when I previously tasted it (more than ten years ago!), it has evolved in the right direction and is still on its way up. Although there are some signs of evolution, the wine is still far from being mature - and fortunately there is still a lot of room for further improvement. This is super delicious already now, but I can see the wine improving easily for another decade or even more. At just 18,09€ for a half-liter bottle, this has been a screaming bargain.

  • Denne var overraskende utviklet, ikke den helt store intensiteten heller. En helt grei Tokaji som ikke nødvendigvis er blitt noe særlig bedre siden release.

  • Bu lors du Souper du mois de janvier 2018 au resto AVV La Suite de Sherbrooke avec les FOUDUVIN.CA
    Wow, quel beau nez. Des fleurs, de la pêche, de la marmelade et du miel.
    En bouche, superbe équilibre. De belles saveurs d’oranges et de miel avec des abricots et d’ananas.
    C’est onctueux mais avec l’acidité présente tout est en harmonie.
    Long et tout simplement délicieux. EXCELLENT.
    Merci René (Bulle)

    Infos supplémentaires : Ce vin est composé de raisins aszu botrytisés (atteints de pourriture noble)
    triés à la main et pesés à l’aide de hottes (les « puttonyos »).
    Plus le nombre de « puttonyos » est élévé, plus la cuvée sera liquoreuse.
