The 1995 Royal Tokaji Szt. Tamás is a light golden colored wine, with just a whiff of orange peel and a wonderfully “fat” middle palate. It is an enormous wine and potentially one of the best from the 1995 vintage.

SZT. TAMÁS – 1ST GROWTH TOKAJI ASZÚ 6 PUTTONYOS 1995
The Szt. Tamás (saint tä-määsh) Vineyard is located north of Royal Tokaji’s Nyulászó Vineyard on south-, southwest- and southeast-facing slopes at nearly 750 feet, overlooking the winery’s cellars. Named for the apostle Saint Thomas, the vineyard has red, volcanic clay soil high in iron oxide that has the ability to retain moisture well helpful in drought years. Wines produced from grapes grown in the Szt. Tamás Vineyard have a lovely, pure fruitiness, nice acidity and good ageability.
