The Royal Tokaji Wine Company Essencia (2009)
375mL / Tokaji / Hungary
Essencia is the world’s most concentrated essence of its ripest grapes, it is the ’liquid gold’ that very slowly oozes from a pile of aszú grapes raisined by botrytis and climatic conditions. Deep gold colour with a hint of amber and a very thick texture. Complex fruitiness on the nose, very rich and complex on the palate with hints of green tea and lots of figs and dates. Rich and complex in the mouth with a creamy structure. Taste of candied orange peel with dried red berries and a long-lasting, fresh end with very good acidity.
