Rich and unctuous, with flavors of apricot marmalade and honey, this wine has a dry, pithy feel, although it’s also very sweet. The juxtaposition is pleasant, as is the complex nose of orange tea, cinnamon and honeyed fig. Acidity finally emerges on the long, spicy finish.

Darker-colored than the 2000, this wine has more orange character on the nose, along with toffee and nutmeg. The wine offers a medium-full body and complex flavors of honey, melon and citrus all delicately spiced, with a hint of almond. The finish is long and spicy, with tropical fruits.

The aroma is muted, with some earth, but the flavors are vivid, showing orange, apricot and beeswax notes matched to a lively structure. Not as concentrated as some other vintages, but very appealing. Drink now through 2012. 500 cases made.??–BS??Region: Hungary / Tokaji Select to Add
