Wine notes:

Our '02 Aszú blend is a light shade of gold with greenish hues, reflecting the results of a spectacular vintage. The wine exudes focused flavors and aromas of ripe tropical fruit and orange blossoms. Beautiful acidity balances the sweetness to perfection creating a long, elegant texture in the mouth that never feels heavy. Still in its infancy, a grand wine that will slowly open over time and continue to develop additional layers with proper cellaring.

Reviews:

"It has a fabulous toffee apple and lanolin nose, with wax and honey, and plenty of apricot depth and unctuous richness. Beautiful tangerine acidity and breathtaking balance on the palate with a flood of fruit and massive caramel richness. Scintilating stuff that will last forever." - Tom Cannavan, Wine Pages   (Four of the Best | Wine Pages, November 2008)
