ROYAL TOKAJI SZT TAMAS 6 PUTTONYOS 2018 - 500ml
Szt. Tamás is a celebrated First Growth vineyard sloping southwest and overlooking the Royal Tokaji winery in Mád. The soil is rich, red clay interspersed with indigo and purple volcanic rocks on and below the surface. Royal Tokaji owns 16 ha of parcels planted with Furmint vines with an average age of around 30 years. This wine is typically structured and concentrated with plenty of fruit and vanilla on the nose, dominated by apricot and marmalade. A cascade of fruit on the palate followed by pear and peach flavours, balancing acidity and a very long and complete finish. Enjoy now or cellar for future enjoyment as the wine matures. 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 dessert.
95 pts Vinous
The 2018 Tokaji Szt. Tamás 6-Puttonyos is a little reticent on the nose, but it only takes a few swirls to entice lilting scents of apricot, quince and subtle adhesive scents. Fine delineation. The palate is smooth and harmonious. Wow. This just glides across the senses, with a gorgeous viscous texture, hints of fig, apricot and yellow plums with a dash of stem ginger towards the finish. This is another outstanding release from the Royal Tokaji Co. in 2018. 199.2g/l residual sugar and 6.46g/l acidity) Drink 2025 - 2050
96 Jancis Robinson (Andrii Stetsiuk)
Very complex nose of tropical fruit, wafers and dried flowers. Very minerally, with crushed stones and some herbal undertones. Medium- to full-bodied, structured and long, with an attractive, astringent texture. It’s almost velvety on the palate, showing savory and mineral notes in the finish. Fresh, focused and very gastronomic. Delicate finish. Drink or hold.
96 Decanter (Sylvia Wu)
The renowned site features red clay topsoils and volcanic rocks. Citrus blossom, marmalade, and apricot on the nose. Bright acidity shines through, highlighting great purity and a creamy concentration of apricot tart, sweet vanilla, and nutmeg spices. Layered depth of dried pineapple and peppermint tea. Umami and bitter citrus zest on the finish. Drink 2024 - 2034
