Royal Tokaji Blue Label 5 Puttonyos Tokaji Aszú 2017

The Blue Label is the producer’s best-known classic Aszú wine, sold as Red Label in the USA. A refreshing nose of citrus blossom, elderflower, marmalade and ginger spices. Refreshing acidity balances a comparatively light palate of apricot, bruised yellow apple, tangerine peel and white pepper. The sugar level sits at 158 g/l, which is well-balanced by the crisp mineral acidity (7.9g/l). Drinking window: 2021-2031. Score – 92. (Sylvia Wu, decanter.com, Oct. 2, 2021)
