Royal Tokaji Betsek 6 Puttonyos 1993

Reviews

VM

"Aromas of plums, prunes, black tea, game and sweet lily flower. (This is 50% Hárslevelu.) Almost shockingly bright on entry. Loads the mouth with citrus, honey and pitted as well as tiny black fruits. Creamy, rich and smoky. Truly thick and dripping with glycerine, yet ultra-bright. Utterly remarkable wine which I realize, as I transcribe my note, has left me with one of the most distinct and vivid impressions of any wine I tasted. I am at a loss to explain why it happens to cost less than the Tamás or Nyulászó. As a check on my impression, I asked [him] how he feels about the wine and he concurred: 'I'm a bit surprised, but today this seems to be showing best.' There were three additional single-vineyard bottlings in the 1993 vintage as well as an Aszú Eszencia."
