Royal Tokaji Gold Label, Tokaj — 2016 – Wine & Spirits – 94 Points
94 points

2016 Tokaji Gold Label 6 Puttonyos Botrytis came early to Tokaj in 2016, after a wet summer, allowing Royal Tokaji to bottle several Aszú wines. This one, a barrel selection of wines from the company’s best vineyards, feels like satin on the palate. It’s dense with residual sugar, yet it’s not overwhelmingly sweet; Furmint’s fiery spice reins in the honeyed fruit while floral and herbal notes add lift. There’s a youthful tension as well, a prickle of energy that runs through the wine, promising that there’s more to come with time in the bottle.
