About this Item
Tokaj-Oremus Eszencia 2002 is an extraordinary sweet wine produced in the Tokaj wine region of Hungary, renowned for its historic and prestigious sweet wines. Eszencia is the rarest and most prized style of Tokaji wine, known for its incredibly high sugar content and exceptional concentration of flavor.
The Tokaj wine region is famous for its unique winemaking process, which involves the noble rot, or botrytis cinerea, a beneficial mold that shrivels the grapes and concentrates their sugars and flavors. This mold is crucial to the production of Tokaji wines, including Eszencia.

Critics Ratings
‘Syrupy, with layers of apricot compote, orange marmalade, wild herbs, spice and zesty passion fruit notes. Thick, rich and intensely sweet, but a well of acidity keeps this lively and fresh, as the fruit-filled finish lingers for a very long time. Drink now through 2040.’ - Wine Spectator, 97/100
