Extraordinary! Fresh and dried fruit -figs, apricots, dates under powdered sugar, cloves, star anise, cinnamon, pain d'epice and candied ginger -all dynamic and in motion like a mighty sprinter whose broad, soaring gate seems like his feet never really touch the ground -the Usain Bolt of Tokaji and hopefully restorative like this King of Wines and Wine of Kings is purported to be -what we read lifted kings from their deathbeds and back to their healthy and hale selves. Perhaps it is but wishful thinking but I sense I am already on the mend like a plant roused in springtime by rising temps and rising sap.

Like pouring honey into your glass. Stunning and memorable. Don't order dessert with this wine-----it is the dessert. Wow!

Absolute rarity. Great pairing with marinated strawberries and fg (homemade). Thanks to our President who was so kind to bring this (and to make the fg)

Dark. The texture of motor oil. Incredibly intense with bracing acidity but a deep sweet palate of orange oil, and rounded Madeira. This is like an eiswein that has been boiled down to an even more intense thing. Fascinating stuff. So singular
