Tokaji Aszú is perhaps the finest naturally sweet wine in the world, made from grapes affected by noble rot. Items made exclusively from Muscat grapes, such as this offering, are a curiosity among aszú wines, typically blends using two or three varieties. Introduced by a nose of dried fruits, this Aszú is dominated by chocolate and almond flavors on the palate. It is a full-bodied wine with a rich, oily texture, and a massive sweetness superbly balanced by the lively acidity.
With its unique harmony between elegance and power, this wine offers a memorable experience when accompanying foie gras, blue cheese, desserts, or even a fine cigar. Serve at 10-12 °C.
