About this winery

Tokaj Oremus is located in Tolcsva, one of the most well-known villages of the Tokaj-Hegyalja region, in the northeast of Hungary.

Neal Martin, December 2013 (Vintage 2000)

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.

June 2008 (Vintage 2000)

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.
