ROYAL TOKAJI MEZES MALY 6 PUTTONYOS 2018 - 500ml
Mézes Mály is one of just two vineyards classified as a Great First Growth. Its volcanic bedrock is overlaid with deep loess soil, giving elegance, finesse and floral notes to its wines. Royal Tokaji owns 11 of its 19 hectares, facing south with views to the Great Plain in the distance. Floral notes on the nose with scents of apricot and honey (Mézes Mály translates as “honey-place”). The palate shows typical elegance and depth with peach, pear and dried plum flavours leading to a long, delicate honey-filled finish. Sip on its own as an aperitif, serve with fruit-based desserts or hard cheeses, or enjoy this mouth-watering wine on its own instead of a pudding.

The 2018 Tokaji Mézes Mály 6-Puttonyos, one of the Royal Tokaji Co's most revered single vineyards, has an entrancing bouquet with wild honey, marmalade, Lyle's Golden syrup scents that retain wonderful delineation and focus. The palate is quite brilliant. It leans a little towards Sauternes in style, especially in terms of weight and texture, yet without that cloak of new oak. This lends it openness and brightness. The 2018 offers an incredible purity of fruit, and it fans out gloriously on the finish. This comes highly recommended because Tokaji doesn't really get much better than this. 206.9g/l residual sugar and 6.90g/l acidity). Drink 2024 - 2060

A very elegant and balanced single-vineyard Tokaji from one of the two classified great first growths. The nose is incredibly complex, with aromas of quince jelly, tangerine peel, dried pineapple and hints of chamomile, linden, juniper berries and crushed stones. It’s balanced and long, with a medium to full body. I love the lightly astringent presence that fills the mouth, making it compact and textural yet keeping the wine delicate and silky through its long, caressing finish. Drink or hold.

Fresh white peaches, spiced and baked pears and lush fig compote convene on the nose of this knockout dessert wine from a prestigious Hungarian vineyard. The palate is creamy, concentrated and rich with honey and subtle floral notes, making it the perfect way to end a rich meal. Serve with a slight chill and share only with people you really, really like.
