Royal Tokaji Gold Label Tokaji Aszú 6 Puttonyos 2016
$125.00
Luscious, intense and concentrated. Not as textural, or chiselled as the First Growth. Apricot, honey, yellow peach, orange zest, quince, aniseed and camphor. Plush, but with very high level of acidity, to balance the incredible sweetness. Very long indeed. Insane value. Waters Wine Co
The 2016 Gold Label Tokaji Aszú 6 Puttonyos, which delivers 188g/L residual sugar, is slightly more limpid in the glass than the Blue Label. The aromatics are also a serious and tangible step up, with much more Aszú character coming through: dried honey, a light adhesive aroma, orange pith and quince explode from the glass. The palate is ripe and viscous on the entry, then very fine acidity imparts great tension, particularly toward the finish. There is an underlying salinity at play that keeps the saliva flowing, yet unlike some botrytized dessert wines, this does not feel heavy or cloying in any way. Superb. 94 points Neal Martin vinous.com Aug 2020 Drink 2022 – 2050
