Judges tasting notes of the 1999 Tokaj Essencia Gold Outstanding: Burnished copper in colour, light dances through this most attractive, alluring wine. The aromas are complex to describe, given the dizzying mix of sensations: partly fruity, quince jelly, but also culinary, caramel and toffee, with essences of orchard fruits. On the palate a further burst of intense flavours arrive, with lush chocolate-lime and key-lime flavours. It takes minutes to chew through the rich layers of hedonistic flavours in this wine, so intense and complex are they. At the regrettable end the flavour of this truly superb wine lingers for many minutes, a delightful reminiscence of its beauty and class. We don’t say it often but this wine is as close to perfection as you will ever seein a glass of wine. A world class luxury. |
