Product Overview
95 Points - Vinous
"The 2017 Tokaji Aszú V.P.T.S is pure Furmint whereby the Eszencia from each vat containing Aszú berries is matured in demijohns and vinified separately. Half is added to the fermenting must, and half is crushed and soaked in fresh wine with 12 hours skin contact. The Eszencia part is aged in glass containers and the rest in oak barrels, 25% new, for 18 months. It has a clean and pure bouquet with dried honey, pineapple and marmalade, gaining intensity in the glass. There is a boisterousness to the aromatics that I appreciate. The palate is medium-bodied with a sensual, caressing, almost Sauternes-like entry that is irresistible. The 277g/L residual sugar means that it fills and lacquers the mouth, yet the acidity (7.1g/L) keeps it fresh. Wonderful. 1,692 bottles produced." -NM, Feb/2024
