The 2019 Tokaji Mézes Mály 6-Puttonyos has an Aszú-driven nose with yellow plum, orange pith, light adhesive/wax resin scents, perhaps leaning a little towards a Semillon-based Sauternes. The aromatics are captivating. The palate is beautifully balanced with quince and satsuma, peach and lemongrass. Very harmonious and nuanced, it gradually builds towards a long and tender finish. This is one of the best releases from the Royal Tokaji Company. Drink: 2026-2046
What a fascinatingly floral and candied organic nose this youthful beauty has! And on the palate marzipan and honey richness are deftly married with citrusy freshness. I love the deep dried mango flavour and the way a touch of smokiness is intwined with it. Extremely long, impeccably balanced finish! Maybe best suited to duck breast or even tournedos rossini! From a vineyard on loess soil planted with Furmint and Hárslevelü.
One of the estate's top sites – the south-facing slopes of Mézes Mály feature volcanic bedrock and loess soils. Savoury creaminess opens up to peach, quince and dried lavender on the nose. Rich and luscious on the palate, with lovely quince jelly and peach wrapped in a soft, mellow roundness, seasoned with ginger powder, sweet spices and woody vanilla, hinting at the 30% new Hungarian oak. Fantastic purity on a lingering finish. Drink: 2026-2046
