Patricius 2000 Aszú Bendecz Dúló 6 Puttonyos Tokaji (Tokaj)
-
$105
This Tokaji strikes the perfect balance of lush, creamy opulence and elegant, lively acidity. Honey, spice and lemon on the nose and in the mouth unfold triumphantly, offering a fresh but full character. On the palate, the wine is viscous and full, but with a strain of liveliness that gives it lift. Delicious and decadent.

Szepsy 2002 Aszú 6 Puttonyos Tokaji (Tokaj)
Though this dessert wine is already excellent, it’s quite exciting to imagine how good it will be as its delicate flavors mingle over time.

$32
One of the grapes used in the famous dessert wine, this dry-style from the village of Tokaj has a mixture of fresh, vibrant fruit with a supple, round body. Aromas of tropical fruits, mixed with straw and chalk, continue in the mouth, with some dried apricot thrown in, then it’s brought home by zesty acidity and citrus pith. This could herald a bright future for…
