Royal Tokaji, 5 Puttonyos Blue Label, Tokaj

Getting this poured & served makes all the diff with 5 Puttonyos. It’s too cold straight from the fridge, but the magic happens 20 minutes later, with cascading flavors.

Il va encore gagner des points avec le temps. Le sucre commence à être bien fondu, équilibre atteint, il va prendre encore en complexité mais on a déjà de l'écorce d'orange et de l'abricot. À attendre.

Bouche liquoreuse et salivante (acidité) d'abricot, de pêches et de vanille sur un fond discret de vieilles noix. Encore très jeune, ce vin encore frais n'est pas très complexe en ce moment, on devra lui donner encore du temps... (***)

Hazy notes from a few days ago. A very nice Tokaji, fairly rich in style, with apricots and jam, but enough acidity to keep the fruit fresh. Not a great deal of complexity yet, but quite tasty (A-).

2013 vintage

Seems extremely ypung and does not appear to be heavily influenced by boytritis. More fresh than dry fruit and honey. Very concentrated and sweet, with good acidity to (almost) balance this out. Long finish.

2013 vintage

Apricot, vanilla ice cream, peaches, honey çovered walnuts, lemon, ripe tropical fruits.

This was my first time with tokaji, and I am immediately a fan. My first conception was this a more terroir oriented sauternes. Lots of orange fruit on this one. Apricot, intense orange. Fruit was very layered. Finish was not that minerally but an extension of the fruit. Orange flower honey. Sugar was not cloying at all to me. Loved the freshness and lack of new oak.

Tokaji is one of my favourite dessert wine regions, if not my absolute favourite so I’m abit biased. I think this wine offers excellent balance between sweetness and acidity, and the apricot and bright fruit flavours come through clearly. Can age

2013 vintage

Light golden color. Loads of apricot with terrific underlying acidity. Excellent, as usual.

2013 vintage

Light Gold Colour. Rich and very sweet but good acidity as balance is very good. Not as rustic as expected and very Loire like. Honeyed cornucopia of fruits on initial taste. Possibly hoped it would open up more but it is still young. Lovely.

2013 vintage

Pale golden. Broad, silky and creamy with a wonderful nose of peach & tropical fruits. Apricot notes appear with citrus in the mouth. Very smooth Aszú with a lower acidity than we usually expect.. Lovely lingering finish

2013 vintage

gold colour and viscous. orange blossoms, honey, apricot, and ginger on the nose. quite sweet but well-balanced with acidity with a palate that follows the nose. gains complexity with time, showing some botrytis mushroom notes. long finish. quite young and with a long life ahead.

2013 vintage

Tasted blind. Lots of crisp sweet fruit, quince, apricot, floral. Good acidity too. Medium+ complexity.

2013 vintage

A private celebratory dinner, 'bring your own' (28-50 Marylebone, London) : From halves. Like drinking pineapple, with dried apricots and peach. Still clean and fresh. Good.

2013 vintage

Very light and pale in colour for a five putts wine. Citrus, honeysuckle and orange blossom. Very light, precise but beautifully balanced sweetness cut through with good acidity. Lovely, and a superb match with the mango millefeuille. Very elegant and with a weightlessness unusual in Tokaji. ****

2013 vintage

Second Sunday Group: 1999 Napa cabernets (Our house) : Consistently excellent and a terrific match with the pear frangipane tart.

2013 vintage

Golden colored in the glass Nose: marmalade, hints of vanilla, very intense and flows from the glass Palate: sweet and full, yet light as a feather and dances across your tongue to leave you impressed by the long finish that has hints of honey. very nice. Would buy again.

2013 vintage

Glorious balanced nose. Light fresh apricots & even lighter & fresher honey. One of Lightest Tokaji I can recall Super fresh palate. Really light. Very elegant. Sweet but the absolute opposite of cloying.

2013 vintage

Delicious, sweet, but not overly. Perfect with cheese.

2013 vintage

Wilson Daniels: Celebrating 40 Years (The Lakewood - Chicago IL) : Tasting, brief note. Honeycomb, dried stone fruit with complex spice. Starts out simple, gets more intriguing and complex by the end. Cellar for more complexity.

2013 vintage

Complex, with good texture; a bit of caramel; worked well with lemon tart

2013 vintage

WSET Level 2 - Day 1 (Pialligo Estate, Canberra, ACT, Australia) : Clear pale gold. Clean developing nose with a medium(+) intensity. There are well-defined notes of dried apricot, dried pineapple, and marmalade. Swirling reveals a honey aroma. The wine is sweet with medium(+) acidity, medium(-) alcohol, and medium body. The flavours have a medium intensity and follow the nose with notes of marmalade, apricot, and subtle pineapple. The palate shows notes that were not detected on the nose: peaches, …

2013 vintage

Un classique. Toujours bon et bien fait. Bel équilibre, belles saveurs de pêches, de miel, de fleurs blanches et d`épices douces. Finale longue et salivante. Très bon.
