Tokaj Classic’s founding musicians, who were widely traveled and had tasted a variety of wines from different countries, came to the unanimous conclusion that Tokaj was a diamond in the rough, just waiting to be polished. They decided to take its future into their own hands. In the historic village of Mád, the musicians refurbished an old estate and acquired vineyards in the prime locations of Királyhegy (King’s Mountain), and Betsek, formerly owned by the Hungarian nobility.
Tasting Note
Burnished copper in colour, light dances through this most attractive, alluring wine. The aromas are complex to describe, given the dizzying mix of sensations: partly fruity, quince jelly, but also culinary, caramel and toffee, with essences of orchard fruits. On the palate a further burst of intense flavours arrive, with lush chocolate-lime and key-lime flavours. It takes minutes to chew through the rich layers of hedonistic flavours in this wine, so intense and complex are they. At the regrettable end the flavour of this truly superb wine lingers for many minutes, a delightful reminiscence of its beauty and class. We don’t say it often but this wine is as close to perfection as you will ever see in a glass of wine. A world class luxury.
