Royal Tokaji Nyulaszo 1st Growth Tokaji Aszú 6 Puttonyos 2016
$185.00
First growth grandeur, and different with it too, distinct. Incredibly complex and concentrated, and for it’s power, cleansing and refreshing. Dried apricot, ginger, honey, buttered toast, cherry, plum, fig, blood orange and custard. Chiselled and with a textural grip that works so well with food. As remarkable as it is unique. Decades ahead! Waters Wine Co
The 2016 Nyulászó First Growth Tokaji Aszú 6 Puttonyos, which delivers 180g/L residual sugar, has a deep, honeyed, slightly more introverted bouquet compared to the Ste. Tamás. It gradually reveals scents of manuka honey, orange pith and quince jus, yet it clearly deserves several years to really open. The palate is very well balanced, harmonious and brimming with tension. Pears, Seville orange marmalade, hints of mandarin and fresh figs vie for attention. This is a powerful, intense Tokaji, but razor-sharp, delivering real precision and “bite” toward the finish. Outstanding. 95 points Neal Martin vinous.com Aug 2020 Drink 2025 – 2060
