TOKAJI ASZÚ

2007 Blue Label 5 Puttonyos Royal Tokaji Wine Company

Grapes Furmint, Hárslevelú, Muscat de Lunel
Origin Hungary, Tokaji
Sub-district Tokaji
ABV 11.5%

The sweet paste, or aszú, is produced from grapes wizened by botrytis, and the more puttonyos (tubs) of berries used, the sweeter, richer, and rarer the Tokaji. Matured in tunnels once dug to foil Turkish invasion, the wines are released four years after the vintage. Royal Tokaji Aszú 5 Puttonyos has aromas of caramelised marmalade, apricoty, almondy flavours, and a honeyed sweetness. It is heavenly with foie gras, blue cheese, fruity puds and chocolate, or with a lovely fat cigar. Tokaji has restorative properties too; according to archives, it is "invaluable in cases of extreme weakness" "recommended for rousing the powers" and "the wine that removes the screws from the coffin lid". Who needs Viagra?. L&S (May 2011)

Sweet wines from the Tokaji region are among the most underrated wines in the world. I've never been quite sure why, especially when they are as straightforwardly gorgeous as this beauty, with its incisive acidity and toffee, apricot and zesty orange palate.David Williams, The Observer
