Royal Tokaji ‘Gold Label’ 6 Puttonyos 2016, Hungary 50cl

Description

Tokaji Aszú is the original ‘noble rot’ wine. Made from a blend of ‘botrytis’ grapes it matches (and often surpasses) Sauternes. In fact, its vineyards were the world’s first classified vineyards – a century before Bordeaux’s famous classification! The Gold Label is a blend of several ‘First Growths’ where single-vineyard bottlings will set you back £50 minimum! At 6 ‘Puttonyos’, this is the richest, most opulent style of Tokaji with aromas of rich citrus, grapefruit and spice mirrored in a palate of lemon-peel, peach and candied mango.
