BETSEK – 1ST GROWTH TOKAJI ASZÚ 6 PUTTONYOS 2003

Winter was very long in 2003. Weather even cited winter at the beginning of April here. There were even frosty nights at the beginning of April so budding started a bit late. However this time-lag was compensated soon because of the sudden and remarkable warming up at the end of April beginning of May. This warm accompanied the whole season. Season was very dry in spite of the annual rainfall above the average level because there was heavy atmospherical drought during the vegetative cycle. It was not a serious problem in vineyard with volcanic clay top soil but could cause significant damage by the drought in some of the loess vineyards.

Nice hay colour with a golden hint. Honey coupled with peach and allspice on the nose. It shows great freshness. Vanilla, peach and grapefruit all add to the perfect balance of aromas. The strongly emerging orange peel tone reflects all the hidden secrets of botrytis, with a never-ending finish on the tongue.
