  From 50cl, acceptable cork, P+P. As noted on 02.01.2018, but an additional 5 years have thinned this out yet further into a pleasant quince jelly with 12% alc. It wasn't a great Tokaji 6 Puttonyos even back then, but now the cracks are really showing. You could probably do a lot worse with foie gras, but unfortunately we paired this with Roquefort cheese, which totally overpowered it. Sauternes next time... Fading, failing, on its way out. 87–88P

  2019 Family Xmas; 12/20/2019-12/25/2019 (Alicante - España): The color of old gold. Cornucopia of aromas presented in an elegant way: juicy dried apricots, hawthorn flower, honey drops, orange blossom, still some of the penicillin fungus, ... accessible complexity. On the palate that sensation of sucking the bone of an apricot, sweet and bitter at the same time. Perfect balance between viscosity and acidity. Good length but I wish even more. Excellent nineteen year old tokaji. Full satisfaction vintage. Merry Christmas!
  
  Del color del oro viejo. Cornucopia de aromas presentados de forma elegante: jugosos orejones, flor de espino, gotas de miel, azahar, todavía algo del hongo de la penicilina, ... accesible complejidad. Al paladar esa sensación de chupar el hueso de un albaricoque, dulce y amargo a la vez. Perfecto equilibrio entre viscosidad y acidez. Buena longitud pero desearía aún más. Excelente tokaji de diecinueve años. Esta añada proporciona una total satisfacción. ¡Feliz Navidad!

  Very nice nose - honeyed and tart. A bit sweet at the start but the acid comes in and gives refreshing notes. Very longg finish. Very nice with fish appetezer. Really nice wine.

  From 50cl, good cork. pacificoast's TN of 12.06.2011 is accurate (although 6 years have thinned this pretty Tokaji out a bit and added some finesse). The lead aromatic remains refined candied orange peel. Medium-bodied, poised, under-sweet for a 6 Putt, good acidity, nicely and nobly rotten high notes. Short and slightly hot finish. Excellent, but probably coming to the end of its drinking window(?) 89(-90+?)

  An excellent example of a tokamak Aszu. Sweetness and viscosity were right on target. Nuttiness really comes thru.
