17+ Points
"Elegantly complex nose that has a great balance of citrus, white flowers and apple characters alongside warmer notes of pastry and spice. A telltale Tokaji volcanic-spice crackle on the palate and into the finish with plenty of very well-integrated but steely, racy freshness. The oak character provides some ballast in the mid palate, but it’s still all pretty tightly coiled. Very young and with much more to give."
