Oremus Tokaji Eszencia 1999 37.5cl

A 37.5cl bottle of 1999 Tokaji Eszencia from Oremus.

An intensely sweet wine fermented from the free run juice of individually hand picked berries affected by Botrytis cinerea, or noble rot. Such is the level of sweetness, that the yeasts die off after an extremely slow fermentation, leaving the finished wine with only 3% ABV and more than 500 grams per litre of residual sugar.

'Complex and bracing, with high acidity offsetting the intense sweetness. Dried apricot, lemon candy, caramel and tobacco notes prevail, meandering through the luscious texture. It's almost tart, yet comes back into balance on the long finish. Drink now through 2045. 208 cases made.' Wine Spectator
