Royal Tokaji Aszu 1999
Named after the town of Tokaj in the northeast corner of Hungary, it’s a wine with a long history - Tokaji has been celebrated for at least 400 years. Indeed, it was the first wine to be intentionally made from botrytised (’nobly’ rotten) grapes.
I tried it once before at a wine tasting and it was magnificent, this time it didn’t quite fit my taste buds, I was expecting more. It does have a beautyful nose, a honey taste, dry.
Price: €35.00 0.5l bottle

My husMy husband and I had the pleasure of visiting Hungry about 3 years ago. We are both big red wine drinkers, but fell in love with Tokaji. When in Hungry I order Tokaji as an appetizer with duck or lamb pate; I will be giving my boss a bottle of 1993 Royal Tokaji for Christmas and wanted to know if anyone had any ideas on what else to server this great wine with.
