Royal Tokaji Essencia, 2016

Dark gold colour with reddish notes. The nose opens quite rapidly and gives a lot of botrytis and extreme complexity with lots of medlar, rosehip jelly, peach and pear.

The palate is citrusy, bold and complex. Excellent candied fruit character, cornel jelly and a nice touch of lemon balm herbs. Balanced with endless freshness and fruit, the high acidity balances the sweetness and contributes to the Essencia’s long and exciting finish.
