Royal Tokaji Wine Company Essencia 1999

logo
winemaker’s notes:

The first perfect, 100-point score ever bestowed by Wine & Spirits Magazine.

New, it has whiplash flavors and off-the-chart acidity that can catch in your throat. As it mellows, it casts an almighty deposit, it turns a wonderful bright mahogany color and weaves an astonishing tapestry of flavors – of apricots, quinces, marmalade, butterscotch… ‘So different from other wines’ said one critic, ‘that it is like seeing a new primary color’.

The first vintage of the “true” Royal Tokaji Essencia since the celebrated 1993, the 1999 Essencia is offered in a stately brass-hinged wooden box carved from Hungarian oak, lined with velvet and containing a hedonistic first – the indulgent Royal Tokaji Hungarian crystal sipping spoon. The spoon was designed exclusively for Royal Tokaji, enabling 33 sips per bottle – or 66 if you share your spoonful with a loved one. The back label bears the number of each bottle produced.

This is truly amazing. Perfect with Gulf Coast shrimp dipped in fresh lemon juice with a hint of butter.

Divine liquid: Ambrosia! The apricot-tangerine aromas and ripe apple flavors were completely refreshing. What impressed me was the acidity, rather than sweetness. It was the perfect dessert wine with pumpkin or caramel-apple pie!
