ISSUE NO.08 TOKAJI SWEET SZAMORODNI FURMINT 2017

Gold colour with intense floral, fruity and spicy aromas. Very rich, round but good balance on the palate with hints of stone fruit and honey. It has an excellent ripeness, a smooth, rich texture and a clean, long-lasting finish. After a chilly January, the temperature has rose step by step and continuously. Relatively high temperature in summer contributed to a quite early ripening and the early set of the botrytis. An outstanding vintage with nice balance in the dries and unbelievable richness in the sweets.
