Royal Tokaji Essencia is one of the rarest and most collectible wines in the world, produced only in exceptional vintages. Made from the naturally free-run juice of botrytized Aszú berries, Essencia ferments extremely slowly and can age for generations.
The 2016 vintage is exceptionally pure, concentrated, and balanced, produced in extremely limited quantities and highly sought after by collectors.
Tasting Notes:
Apricot nectar, acacia honey, candied citrus peel, saffron, dried fig, and tea. Remarkably viscous with vibrant acidity and an endless finish.
Aging Potential:
Drinkable now, but capable of aging 100+ years under proper storage.
