December 11, 2023 - Noah's Kitchen. Quite sweet, appropriately. Very attractive palate though not as complex as I might have hoped. Certainly good.

December 25, 2020 - Mandarin, apricot, honey, lemon and other citrus fruit on the sweet nose. The sweet palate adds more of these as well as some canned mandarin and peach. Brisk stony acidity that balances the very sweet fruit. Long finish with a citric theme, tapering towards the acids. Sweet, balanced, hedonistic, but not quite as intense as an aszú would be. Stylistically nods towards the Sauternes style a bit, but still retains a clear Tokaji identity. Nice.

December 13, 2019 - Jólavínsmakk Eðalklúbbsins 2019 (Marbakkabraut 12): Þriðja og síðasta sætvínið sem var í boði með matnum. Ekki eins góður með matnum eins og Vouvray vínið en mér fannst þetta best eitt og sér. Löðrandi í apríkósum. Passleg sæta. Mjög kraftmikið. Mjög gott vín.

June 27, 2019 - Tiger Mama. From 500ml. Showing no ill effects from its recent flight from Budapest. Quite sweet but neither heavy nor viscous. Very ripe peach/apricot. A little honey and some (not too much) bitterness on the finish. A medium-scaled treat.
