80's Bordeaux (Friend's house): Nice and sweet and more of the carmelized style and drinking very well. We missed the real dessert but this worked incredibly well drinking on its own.

Tasted November 24, 2006 at an offline. Opened and served immediately in a Riedel Vinum Cuvee Prestige glass. Amber color in the glass, clear hue throughout. Nose of almonds, molasses and burnt sugar. Flavors of almonds, apricots and an unusal citrus flavor I couldn’t quite place. Drink over the short to medium term. NOTE: This was a gift from Pinot Envy so I decided to share it with the group. Thank you very much to Pinot Envy!

Tasted (not blind) at Resurrection Cup I, 5/21/2005.
This was a beautiful sweet wine. On the night of the tasting, it showed excellent balance, with moderate sweetness, but there was a slight astringency on the finish. This wine showed much better on the next night, when the finish lengthened and the harshness on the finish had disappeared.
I just decided to pour myself another small glass as I type this, after it has been refrigerated for four days. It shows some cinnamon on the nose, with a bit of alcohol peeking through. On the palate, this has a full body, with apricots, oranges and Grand Marnier, and maybe a hint of honey (though it could be the texture more than the actual flavor). The alcohol does peek through on the finish, which is a little bit shorter than I remember from Sunday.
Still a very nice wine, and holding up well after four days.

From 500mL. Dark amber/orange colour. Aromas of orange rind and caramel. Medium-bodied with orange rind and Grand Marnier. Moderate finish, ~20-25s. A little harsh on the finish. Needs more cellar time. Hold for 3+ years.

1993 was a superb vintage in Tokaji on the whole. Royal TWC makes several single vineyard Tokaji's including the Nyulaszo which we tried. It was low in alcohol (11%) which resulted in a delicate wine compared to say Port or Sherry. Sweet with primary notes of orange peel which is typical for Tokaji. I also noted apricot, peach and honey nuances as well as botrytis characteristics. Very light and refreshing. Just excellent. Better than the 1995 RTWC Red Label 5 Put I had in March or Dr.T's 1993 Disznoko 5 Put I had over a year ago (I rated each of those 92 points). This wine gets 95 points from me.

Beautiful wine. Such lovely acidity to balance the sugar. Sweet without being heavy.

Brown color. Nose is very strong and very tokaji. Brown sugar and hazelnut on the palate. Lacking a bit in acidity.

LOVED this - others in the group didn't get it - luscious caramel and apricots and hint of botrytis, thick without being cloying
