The harvest always begins late, once the sun has ripened the grapes to an ambrosial sweetness. The Botrytis Cinerea appears and covers the individual grapes. From the effects of the draying winds and the rays of the sun the grapes wrinkle and shrink and become Aszú grapes. During the harvest the Aszú berries are selected 100% manually berry by berry. According to the tradition over various centuries, the preparation of the Aszú wine, to a Gönci cask ( 136 litres ) of a excellent quality wine 5 puttony of Aszú berries (125 kg ) are added.
A finely knit dessert wine, with backbone of lip-smacking acidity and a minerally underpinning of oyster shell and saline supporting flavors of white peach puree, tangerine, Marcona almond and candied ginger. This is loaded with flavor, expanding beautifully on the palate, but remains lithe and graceful throughout. Drink now through 2035. 4,375 cases made, 196 cases imported.

The 2000 Tokaji Aszu 5-Puttonyos has slightly less acidity than the 2001 due to the warm summer. It has a perfumed bouquet with scents of candied orange peel, apricot jam and a touch of caramel that is well-defined, hints of Earl Grey developing with time. The palate is medium-bodied with a nicely balanced viscous opening and fine minerality. The acidity is well-judged as it fans out with touches of marmalade, dried quince and spices toward the elegant finish. This is a very fine Tokaji for the vintage. Drink now-2030.

Losing a little flesh in lieu of structure, this is nonetheless concentrated and fresh. Peach, pear compote and floral aromas and flavors flow gracefully, picking up a mineral note on the long finish. Great for fresh fruit tarts. Drink now through 2025. 11,000 cases made.
