This is a fabulously detailed wine of rare aromatic complexity. It’s chock-a-block with fresh and dried fruit flavours, earthy spices and floral/honey notes. A blend of 69% Furmint, 25% Zéta and 6% Hárslevelű, it’s super-complex with the tangy cut of orange and bergamot brightness to balance the oozing sweetness (it has roughly 155 g/L residual sugar). There are also lovely savoury things, with umami and camomile notes adding earthy depth. The balance between these wonderful elements and the firm acidity of 2014 brings a sense of lightness and a squeaky-clean finish, allowing the wine to match savoury dishes—especially hard and young blue cheeses—as well as fruit-based desserts.

Reviews

“Golden in colour, with pronounced tropical fruits, mango, pineapple, pollen and acacia honey on the nose. Great depth and concentration on a classy palate of apricot, marmalade, pineapple and orange zest, spiced up by white pepper on the tip of the tongue. The passionate, tropical flavours are backed by great acidity (8.77 g/l), with dried fruit notes lingering on forever. Aged for 18 months in old oak barrels. An exceptional Aszú born in a difficult year.”

“Attractive aromas of dried apricots and dried mangoes with hints of caramel, fresh honey, exotic spice and dried orange. It’s dense and creamy with vivid acidity coming through. Rich but not overly sweet, with hints of oolong tea and orange blossom at the end. Delicious.”
