BYO (Famo Metro): Impressive and very serious and very impressive bottle of Tokaj. Plenty of dried apricots, coffee and oak. Still very young and dense apricot flavors. Very impressive Tokaj style!!

Starting to turn brown. Still slick and treacly sweet, but the flavors are advanced and kind of on the dreary side without the peachy/apricot-like flavors that might have made this enticing a few years ago - seems to signify a loss of freshness without a corresponding uptick in complexity or intrigue. A shame, I had always kept Szepsy in the back of my head as a potential contender for greatest dessert wine nobody talks about, but not if they evolve like this.

Quite dark color. Nose has quince, spices, dried apricot, honey, hay. Palate is powerful with plenty of acidity. Long finish. Holds well over several days in the open bottle.

Lots of caramel, chocolate, coffee and plum jam. Very complex!
