October 27, 2023 - Dinner at friends - my contribution. 10 years since my previous note. Old fashioned style of Tokay which I prefer for high Aszú examples rather than the anaemic "pure" trendy styles of recent years. Deep ruddy brown colour. Marmalade and dark honey, smoke, Zanzibar spice and core of pectic acidity bringing the wine together and lingering on the palate forever. Easily enough for eight guests even in 50cl format.
Has evolved in the last decade but, based on this bottle should be fine for (at least) another 15yrs. Till 2035?+. -

February 5, 2017 - Amazingly dark gold color. Smoky, honey, earthy and altogether wonderful. Almond nougat and dried apples. Like nothing else. Incredibly sweet without being cloying thanks to good acid balance.

October 11, 2014 - Syrupy in the glass. The nose is a wall of botrytised fruit - sweet and creamy - crystallised lime, and lots of flowers. Bright and sparkling, very complex. The taste is otherworldly. It's like drinking flowers - in a good way. Honey, nectar, layers of tropical fruit, plenty of sweetness and good acidity to balance it. Really creamy and smooth.

March 10, 2014 - Amber in color. Tobacco and sherry on the nose. They continue on the palate, joined by coconut and cherry. Some oxidation, but nothing gets in the way of the insanely long finish. A remarkable wine.
