| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
PANNON TOKAJ |
| Light yellow colour. Complex, stewed apple-lemon-caramel nose. Intense, sweet, medium-light bodied, floral, honeyed, ripe lemon-apple-orange marmalade flavours with a lingering, slightly dusty, caramel finish. This blend of 60% Furmint and 40% Harslevelu should be served chilled as an afternoon sipper or perhaps with dessert. Not quite up to the riper (12.5% alcohol) 2003 (**) released on April 16, 2011 at $21.95. |

| The 'puttonyos' (or 'buttons') here refers to the sweetness level of Tokaji Aszú, ranging from 3 to 6 with the latter being the sweetest. TASTING NOTE: Brilliant topaz colour. Enticing nose of marmalade, honey, apricot and candied ginger. Medium sweet to start with a rush of acidity that refreshes the decadent candied fruit on the palate. Crisp, clean, gently ginger-spiced finish. Enjoy it with Chèvre Noir cheese and fresh apricots. (Vintages panel, April 2012) |
