About this Item

2014 Aszú 5 Puttonyos
3 (1 x 3) 500ml

Tokaji is one of the world's great experiences, and Oremus-backed by Vega Sicilia-is one of its stars. Wines from their vineyards have been coveted for 400 years for their mind-bending complexity and deliciousness.

A deep and inviting golden color in the glass. Attractive aromas are led by citrus blossom and apricot preserve, supported by layers of lemon peel and savory spice. The mouthfeel is decadent, yet vibrant and mouthwatering with flavors of honey balanced by enticing acidity and spice. A delicious example of one of the highest quality Tokaji producers.

The production of the Aszú wine (wine of tears) is a meticulous process, which requires great patience and extensive know-how. It is only possible in good vintages, when nature brings rain at the end of the summer and sun and wind in early autumn, which are the essential conditions for the process for noble berries to from. The berries swollen due to the humidity split and the 'Botrytis cinérea' establishes in its skin and creates the noble rot. The same formulas are used to make the wines as have been used for hundreds of years.

Critics Ratings

'An elegant version, round and creamy, with orange peel acidity enlivening a delicate mesh of apricot preserves, graham cracker, honeycomb and tarragon flavors. Long and mouthwatering on the finish, which shows hints of nuts, citrus and smoke. Furmint, Hárslevelü, Zéta and Sárga Muskotály. Drink now through 2028.' - Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator, 92/100
