A medium amber colour with a rich deep nose of orange peel and toasted nuts. On the palate it has a very smooth creamy, vanilla character, and a long, lingering finish, ending with the sharp acidity that is so typical of aszu wines.

NYULÁSZÓ – 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.
