Tasting Notes

Arguably this is the outstanding deal in the Royal Tokaji portfolio in terms of “bang for buck”. It is made up of a blend of wines from the Company’s Grand Cru vineyards. It packs an amazing 188 g/l of sugar tempered by 9.9 g/l acidity. A gorgeously plush, sweet and opulent nose crammed with pineapple, grapefruit, lime, honey & nectarine. Lovely botrytis character. Like liquid tarte tatin on the palate and yet with such freshness and tension too. Amazing wine for the price.

Farr Vintners, Farr Tasting, September 2020

Bright gold. Sweet and honeyed on the nose, noticeably more youthful and primary than the Blue Label. Almost grapey with hints of raisin and dried apricot. Thick and rich on entry before cutting acidity cleans the palate and prevents any cloying nature. Massive concentration, full of fleshy, dried stone fruits and acacia honey. Great density and length, finishing with acid rather than sugar. 2023 - 2028
