  Tokaji Aszú seems to be increasing in popularity these days, and I can’t say I mind – I love this stuff!
  
  Medium amber in color, this wine has a developing nose of moderate intensity with notes of honey, ripe peach, apricot, mandarin oranges and clementine peel with a bit of an underlying almond nuttiness. Upon sipping, one meets a sweet, medium-full-bodied wine with high acid and low alcohol. The attack features ripe peach, which is soon joined on the midpalate by pronounced flavors of apricot, honey, mandarin orange, orange marmalade, ripe yellow apple and almond. The finish is quite long, starting off with ripe peach and honey before transitioning to clementine and gradually fading away into a ripe yellow apple echo.
  
  As usual, I include my wife’s expert opinion: “It’s like a jammy, musky mead with lots of apricots.” She didn’t spit it out and actually ASKED FOR A GLASS!! WHAT?? She hates wine! No invoking pickled lemons or toxic chemicals this time. If she actually likes it, then that’s saying something.
  
  Utterly bursting with ripe fruity flavors, this wine offers tons to pick apart, and it makes for a GREAT after dinner drink. One can drink now, but it has potential for further ageing; it certainly has the fruit intensity, and adding some more tertiary notes could add some complexity. Lay down a bottle and this will be a real gem in a few years!

  My first Tokaji ✅❗ 6 Puttonyos. Really enjoyed it. Somewhat reminiscent of a Sauternes but less viscous and flavors more subtle. Honey, apricot, tangerine, ginger. Great acidity, body, and balance. Excellent and delicious.

  Really delicious citrus flavors. Maybe even orange? But very sweet.

  Excellent example of the style. Vanilla, caramel and honey are predominant. Served slightly chilled, as it warmed up the aroma becomes more pronounced.
