This was my first Tokaji and what a great intro to the sweet wines of Hungary. Smooth, flavorful, medium-full body, and just the right level of sweetness... IE: sweet, but not "maple syrup concentrate" sweet. Apricot, kiwi, cream, and honey. Would definitely buy again.

"Dessert" Wine Tasting (Prior Lake, MN): Very interesting -- quite light in body and color (almost clear). This had a distinctive white apricot aroma, and was very smooth and ethereal. Not as sweet as expected at 11.5% ABV. This was a "love it or meh" wine, taking 2 first place votes and 2 last place votes. The dividing line seemed to be whether you enjoyed the freshness of the light bodied wine when compared to the heavier bodied wines in the tasting, or found it watery.
My #1, Group #3.

Sweet. Not enough acidity. Slightly oxidized. Maybe orange marmalade?
