Royal Tokaji, Dry Tokaji, Tokaji, Hungary, 2015

92
Tasted by: James Button
Hungarian Tokaji is famous for its incredible sweet wines, made primarily from the Furmint variety. This bone dry style is also made from Furmint, but is a completely different proposition. Waxy green apple, hazelnut and sweet spice aromas lead into a palate of baked apple and background notes of cream. There is an incredibly refreshing, almost tart, acidity and delightful pink grapefruit notes on the finish.

A Majestic exclusive, this is made mainly from the Furmint grape, which is famous for producing Tokaj's stunning dessert wines. Dry Tokaji is a great style to pair with mild Asian dishes - this one has gorgeous fleshy stone fruit aromas, a structure that makes it supremely food-friendly and a good length. Quite a showy wine, but in perfect balance.
