"The 1999 Tokaji AszuEsszencia has even more residual than the 2000, with 257 grams per liter, but higher acidity at 9.7 grams per liter. It has a very focused, quite âcontainedâ bouquet of mandarin, marmalade and incense that gently unfolds in the glass. The palate is very well-balanced on the entry, the acidity neatly offsetting the swathe of viscous fruit: mango, papaya, marmalade and quince. This is very focused and harmonious with a long fig and raisin finish that remarkably retains freshness and tension. Outstanding."
