Wine Enthusiast: 96 Points
Rich intense nose with hints of orange peel and spice. Very fine and elegant wine, full-flavoured with vibrant acidity, citrus and peach on the palate with a long, balanced finish. Summer was hot, so we began the Aszú berry harvest in early September and continued to pick steadily in the ideal autumn weather. In particular October provided three textbook weeks for the development of fine quality Aszú, with day after day of early morning mists, afternoon sunshine and drying winds. The Aszú wines show great structure, plenty of botrytis, depth and freshness with excellent complexity, all attributes of long ageing potential.
Decanter: 95 Points
A classic example of Hungary’s famous botrytised wine, with complex aromas of biscuit, honey and caramel bordering on toffee. Juicy red apple, peach and sweeter Scottish tablet flavors are wrapped up in refreshing acidity that stops the mouthfeel from becoming cloying.
Wine Spectator: 92 Points
This finely-meshed dessert wine is mouthwatering, offering a tang of blood orange juice, while the creamy palate shows flavors of strawberry preserves, baked peach, dried thyme and honeycomb that expand on the finish.
