92 Pts Wine Spectator |
"Thick and rich, yet with good underlying structure. Candied lemon and smoky mineral flavors pick up a grapefruit peel note on the finish. Gets better with each sip. Nice length. Drink now through 2020." -92 points Wine Spectator |
Description:
"Lush, opulent aromas of tropical fruit, spice and honey lead this Tokaji from Hungary. On the palate, the wine is supple and unctuous without heaviness, coating the tongue with more pineapple, orange and honey and finishing off with a delicious, lingering finesse." -91 points Wine Enthusiast
WINE:
"This wine carries the strong character of the vintage. It has aromas of apricot, peach and honey. On the palate, the wine is elegant, with balanced sugar, alcohol and acidity. It is magnificent with foie gras." -Importer
VINIFICATION:
"The Aszu wines are made from botrytized shriveled berries which are hand picked. After fermentation, the wine is put into barrels known as Gonci of 136 liters. The level of Aszu depends on the number of baskets weighing 25 kilos of aszu berries that are added to each barrel. Harvest in Tokaj starts in October or in mid- November." -Importer
"Harvest in Tokaj starts in October or in mid-November the latest and is divided into two distinct operations. First the mature (Aszu) botrytized, shrivelled berries are hand picked; often women perform this duty, as they are more meticulous than men. Then the less advanced plots are harvested by mixing the botrytized grains and the ripe ones. After fermentation the wine is put in barrels known as Gönci of 136 liters. The level of Aszu then depends on the number of baskets weighing 25 kilos of Aszu berries that are added to each barrel. It is the proportion of these naturally 'candied' berries on the cluster of grapes, individually harvested and once mixed with the fermenting grape juice, that determines the number of Puttonyos (back-baskets) requested. The higher the number of 'Puttonyos', the more the complex aromas and the sugar can balance a length of the wine in the mouth." -Winery
WINERY:
"The Patricius winery is a large domain in the Tokaji region of North-Eastern Hungary. It is some 250 km from Budapest. In 1737, a royal decree divided the territory and vineyards of the 27 villages in Tokaji. The exceptional location of the Patricius vineyards on topsoil of volcanic origin together with patches of loess." -Importer
