Light orange. Racy if subdued aromas of tangerine, orange marmalade, ginger, flowers, spices and medicinal herbs. Almost painfully penetrating initially, showing terrific acid lift and energy to the superconcentrated flavors of apricot nectar and sultana raisin complicated by honey and toffee nuances. Tastes like more than 8 grams of acidity. Boasts outstanding honeyed density but a light touch and outstanding lift on the suave, gripping, palate-staining finish. Great cut. This knockout will go on a lot longer than I will, and I'd certainly wait at least several more years for the wine to absorb a bit more of its acidity. ... More details

Country: Hungary

Hungary's wine industry suffered a real drop in reputation throughout most of the twentieth century due to the homogenization of wines under the Soviet Union. However, today the historic wineries of Tokaj and the regions around the great Balaton lake are working tirelessly to bring Hungary's wines to the world once again, and demonstrate just how wonderful and varied the country's produce is. By far the most highly esteemed of all Hungary's wines are the famous Tokaji wines – once the favorite of the crowned heads of Europe, now a favorite with anyone looking for something unique, flavorful and surprising. Tokaji wines are made using noble rot, which withers the grapes and concentrates the sugars of the fruit. The resulting wine is slightly viscous, and packed full of fascinating flavors.
