This is 190g of residual sugar. So it's quite a bit sweeter. Sometimes when you get to this level of sweetness you can lose complexity and freshness but this hasn't at all. It's incredible. There is still some acidity. More Less

This is 190g of residual sugar. So it's quite a bit sweeter. Sometimes when you get to this level of sweetness you can lose complexity and freshness but this hasn't at all. It's incredible. There is still some acidity. The texture is something else. Just extraordinary. With the incredible haunting aromas of the greatest wines. The palate is just filled with the most beautiful flavour and unctuous elixir of noble rot affected grapes. A majestic wine.

Last summer, we were contacted by Holdvolgy, a vineyard run by siblings Pascal and Natalia Demko, whose mother moved from France to Hungary in the 1960s. Pascal's search for a special vineyard for his father's birthday which led to the purchase of parts of the historic 7 Grand Crus of Mád in Tokaj. After tasting their wines in Paris, I was captivated by their exceptional quality, both dry and sweet. Tokaj wines, with their exotic aromas and flavors, surpass even my first love, Sauternes. Remarkably, their sweet wines, at 12% alcohol, remain unchanged after four months, suggesting they could be enjoyed for centuries to come.
