An extremely charming and complex Aszú from the estate’s Nyulászó (‘a good place to catch hares’) parcels on volcanic bedrock and clay soils. Fermented and aged in Hungarian oak barrels (30% new), the 2019 boasts sour citrus, vanilla and sweet spices on the nose, with alluring creaminess revealing acacia honey and dried camomile. Boiled peach on the palate, seasoned with savoury spices, dried apricot, mango and more creamy vanilla. Loads of character, supported by exhilarating acidity (7.21g/L). More stem ginger and dried fruit unravel towards the finish, which seems to last for eternity. An absolute joy.
