| 2005 Royal Tokaji Dessert & Ice Wine "5 Puttonyos Aszu" Winery: Royal Tokaji Vintage: 2005 Wine Name/Vineyard: "5 Puttonyos Aszu" Wine Category: Dessert & Ice Wine Grape blend: Primarily Furmint with some Harslevelu & a small % of Muscat Bottle size: 500 ml Region: Tokaji State or country: Hungary Price: $41 Cases produced: 6,221 KWG Score: 94 (based on 3 reviews) Ken's Wine Rating: Very Good+ (92) Review date: March 23, 2012 Wine Review: This golden rod colored dessert wine opens with an apricot and honey like bouquet. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, balanced, and sweet. The flavor profile is a honey and apricot blend with hints of rum cake, raisins, and mandarin orange. It is pretty complex. The finish is sweet and its intriguing flavors linger for a while. This dessert wine was very well received by the panel. They suggested pairing it with lemon meringue or apple pie. Enjoy – KWGTP Winemaker Notes: A medium golden amber colour, on the nose showing orange peel, mint, figs and cinnamon. The palate is sweet and rich with cinnamon, apple, coupled to grapefruit aftertaste. Its sugar is well balanced with fine acidity which leads to a clean and refreshing, long finish. Will continue to improve over several years. Organic status: not organic Buy it: Use 1000 Corks to find stores that sell Royal Tokaji 2005 5 Puttonyos Aszu.
