Tokaj-Hegyalja Aszú 5 puttonyos 2000

- 93 points -

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.
