  August 11, 2019 - Rich ripe apricot, sweet peaches, and caramel . It is dense and sweet but slightly balanced with good acidity..overall quite dense structure. Probably still quite young to consume, offering long ageing potential ahead. In 1993 the 33 hectare estate was bought by a Spanish consortium headed by owner of Vega Sicilia.

  “The vineyards at Oremus are mostly on hillsides that rise steeply above the village of Tolcsva in the heart of the Tokaj-Hegyalja appellation. They are close enough to the Bodrog River to benefit from the particular climatic conditions that generate noble rot. All the Oremus vineyards are classified ‘First Growth’, according to the historic Szirmay classification of 1803. The cellars themselves are found under the village Tolcsva, in a labyrinth of hand-hewn cellars dating back to the 12th century.”

  June 5, 2016 - Wow. Great wine. Intense flavors of dried fruits date, apricot, raisin, banana. Sweetness not very strong, a little acidity - perfectly balanced.

  October 31, 2015 - Vin tranquille blanc de couleur or orangé clair. Brillant , fluide et limpide. Au nez, net intensité moyenne. Odeur complexe de miel, abricot et floral. En developpement ou a boire. Tout son charme arrive en bouche. Liquoreux et vif, retro moyenne sur le sucre et le fruit comme l'abricot. Persistance longue sir le sucre et l'abricot. Peut être bu en 2015 car belle balance, mais profiterait d'une attente de 5-8 ans.

  July 8, 2015 - Appearance: Clear wine with a deep gold colour.
  
  Nose: Clean nose with a pronounced intensity. This wine is developed.
  
  Hugely aromatic wine. Dried Apricot and Orange at the fore with honey, vanilla and marmalade blending to create a real ensemble. Very pleasant and complex.
  
  Palate:
  Sweet
  Alcohol: Medium
  Acidity: High
  Body: Medium+
  Intensity: Pronounced
  Finish: Long finish
  
  On the palate this wine opens up even further, expressing toffee and caramel on top of the dried Apricot, Orange and even banana. Honey and baked fruits compliment to create a wine with real beauty and a long, long finish.
  
  Outstanding quality. Despite being fully developed you could potentially age this wine, although I couldn't say whether it would improve it. Definitely ready to be drunk now. Premium priced Hungarian Tokaji.
