Really excellent, bright, powerful wine. Incredible sweetness balanced by a strong acidity. The interplay between them means that you don't notice either at first as much as you notice the whole. Really classic tokaji character--tart apricot, honey, a hint of toasted walnut. Endlessly drinkable. Brightens as it gets colder--drink anywhere from a fridge to cellar temp depending on what you're looking for. No matter what, you won't be disappointed.

Like a fruit salad in a cup (in a good way). Watermelon, pineapple, mango, and just a bit of lemon to bring it home. Really excellently balanced

Not bad, and opened up okay. Nothing to hate about this, but nothing special about it either
