Royal Tokaji 'Szt. Tamas' Tokaji Aszu 6 Puttonyos 2018 500 mL

95 Points Vinous

The 2018 Tokaji Szt. Tamás 6-Puttonyos is a little reticent on the nose, but it only takes a few swirls to entice lilting scents of apricot, quince and subtle adhesive scents. Fine delineation. The palate is smooth and harmonious. Wow. This just glides across the senses, with a gorgeous viscous texture, hints of fig, apricot and yellow plums with a dash of stem ginger towards the finish. This is another outstanding release from the Royal Tokaji Co. in 2018. (199.2g/l residual sugar and 6.46g/l acidity) 2025-2050
