My first Aszú, and what better way to taste it than in the Tokaj with István Szepsy Sr., a 17th generation winemaker. It's amber colored and viscous with magnetic aromas of marmalade and dried apricot, fleshy quince, burnt caramel, nutmeg and dust. On the the palate, this wine's considerable gravity, a honeyed elixir with an RS of 280 g/L has density, and yet, there is lightness and elegance too, felt along an acidic spine that is complicated by flinty smoky notes, crushed stones, walnut skins, and wild mushroom.

Yes. I’m a geek baller. And you’re not.

Basically trockenbeerenauslese.

Nose is god’s caramel. Fuck me. Fermented caramel.

Palate is almost coffee but fresh.

This is why trump exempted this. Because he loves wine. And he sells a teaspoon for $100 at his hotel. MAGA muthafucka!!!’n

Almost overly sweet on its own but pairs amazingly well with dessert. Favorite of the evening.

Poor man's d'yquem.

Had 1999. 500ml bottle.

Creamy and effervescent with a two minute finish. Divine.

Paid 80usd.
