2009 The Royal Tokaji Wine Company Red Label 5 Puttonyos (500ml)

SKU #1276590 90 points Wine & Spirits

Outer quote mark From an early vintage in Tokaji, the picking dates forced by rain in early October, this is bright and fresh, the acidity charging the wine with energy as it brings more and different flavors to the fore: honeysuckle, candied orange, lemon meringue and sage. The structure suggests it will age well, but it also has the restraint to be delicious right now with a cheese plate. Inner quote mark (8/2016)

90 points Wine Spectator

Outer quote mark The apricot, kumquat and honey flavors are tinged by lanolin in this medium-sweet white. Racy acidity keeps this fresh and lively on the lingering aftertaste. (BS) Inner quote mark (7/2016)

Hungary

- Better known for its paprika than its wine, Hungary is nonetheless one of Eastern Europe's most significant wine-producing countries. Exerjo, Furmint, Hárslevelü and Mezesfeher are just some of the indigenous (and unpronounceable!) varieties most widely planted. And Tokaji is Hungary's biggest success story. Made since the sixteenth century, Tokaji is an extremely sweet wine that was adored by the Russian Tsars. It is made in a manner similar to Sherry, and is reputed to be the longest lived, non-fortified wine in existence (a few hundred years is not unheard of). Hungary's continental climate--predictably cold winters and hot summers--makes it an ideal location for Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon as well.
