Hungary
The wines of Hungary have a long and rich history, dating back over a thousand years. The country's unique climate and geography, combined with its winemaking traditions, have resulted in a range of distinctive wines that are gaining recognition worldwide.
One of the most famous Hungarian wines is Tokaji, a sweet wine made from grapes affected by botrytis, a beneficial mould that concentrates the grapes' sugars. Tokaji is known for its rich, honeyed flavors and is often compared to Sauternes from Bordeaux.
Hungary also produces high-quality dry white wines, including Furmint and Hárslevelű. These wines are known for their crisp acidity and mineral flavors and are often compared to the wines of Austria and Germany.
Hungarian winemakers are known for their use of traditional winemaking techniques, including aging wines in oak barrels and using indigenous grape varieties. This approach results in wines with unique flavors and aromas that are distinctive to the region. Leading producers in this country include Kiralyudvar, Oremus and Royal Tokaji, all of which produce a range of exceptional dry wine and noble rot sweet wine.

Hailing from Hungary, the Oremus Aszu Tokaji 5 Puttonyos 2000 is an exceptional display of a meticulous winemaking craft. This esteemed wine is from the renowned Oremus vineyard, precipitously positioned in the heart of the Tokaj region.

This wine is a glowing amber hue, featuring divine notes of honey, apricot, and spices. An extended maturation in Hungarian oak barrels imparts a rich complexity.

Wine Advocate (90)The 2007 Tokaji Aszu Birsalmas 6-Puttonyos comes from one of the most famous vineyards in Tokaj. It has an intriguing bouquet, admittedly not one of the most immediate from the Royal Tokaji Company. It seems broodier, with resinous scents such as melted candle wax intermingling with dried honey and tree sap aromas. The palate is fresh and vibrant on the entry. It just glides across the mouth, the acidity nigh perfectly judged, and it gently builds to a lovely finish of marmalade, orange rind, quince and a touch of toffee that, to quibble, feels ever so slightly cloying. |

Vinous (100)The 2007 Essencia is the fifth made in the modern era, and it continues to defy the definition of wine. It gloops onto the spoon, the best way to consume this astonishing elixir. The palate electrifies the senses with almost overwhelming sweetness of apricot, Japanese plum and marmalade, while the acidity miraculously keeps everything on an even keel – not easy to do with a payload of 560gm/L residual sugar! Profound and probably destined to last for eternity. You can even drive home afterwards thanks to the 1.65% alcohol. Tasted at a private dinner in Hong Kong. (2,057 presentation boxes produced) |

Vinous (98)The 2016 Essencia is a refulgent deep gold color. There’s no dabbling on the nose as it bursts with scents of Clementine, Japanese yuzu, quince and marmalade, all the tropes one expects from a Tokaji. Yet this being Essencia, those flavors are amplified without any loss in delineation. The palate is as unctuous as you expect, lacquering the inside of the mouth (and this is why a spoon is included, not for show, but the most efficient means for transferring the wine straight onto the tongue.) The tastebuds tingle with glee, reveling in untrammeled sweetness, effortlessly offset by that razor-sharp acidity that renders it not cloying in the slightest. Purer than an angelic choirboy, the 2016 is armed with immense tension on the citric finish that offers Seville orange marmalade, strawberry, mandarin and quince. Outrageous and yet sophisticated and probably indestructible. |

This is fairly powerful in style. The palate is beautifully balanced with a viscous entry, but there is much more complexity here, with superb tension and notes of marmalade, peach skin, fresh fig and orange pith. What marks this Tokaji out is that despite the residual sugar and concentration, it is nimble, light on its feet and doesn't pall after the first glass. Outstanding. (197.1g/l residual sugar and 6.75g/l acidity) |

Vinous (95)The 2017 Tokaji Szt. Tamás 6-Puttonyos comes from red-clay topsoils in the commune of Mád. This is more backward compared to the Mézes Mály, and very much more citrus-driven, featuring lemon peel, orange zest and crushed stone aromas; the Aszú element is more discreet. The fresh, vibrant palate is well balanced and harmonious, offering a fine bead of acidity and candied orange peel toward the finish. Edgier than Royal Tokaji's other 2017s, and perhaps spicier on the finish, this will be fascinating to observe mature in bottle. 3,635 bottles produced. |

Vinous (93)(174 g.l. r.s): Bright orange-gold. Smells lighter and livelier than the Betsek, offering fruitier aromas of peach and apricot. Then fresh, high-pitched and tight on the palate, with lively acidity framing and lifting the flavors of orange zest, apricot and spices. Finishes youthful, silky and long. Like the Betsek, this is a blend of furmint, hárslevelû and yellow muscat. |

Vinous (95)The 2017 Tokaji Szt. Tamás 6-Puttonyos comes from red-clay topsoils in the commune of Mád. This is more backward compared to the Mézes Mály, and very much more citrus-driven, featuring lemon peel, orange zest and crushed stone aromas; the Aszú element is more discreet. The fresh, vibrant palate is well balanced and harmonious, offering a fine bead of acidity and candied orange peel toward the finish. Edgier than Royal Tokaji's other 2017s, and perhaps spicier on the finish, this will be fascinating to observe mature in bottle. 3,635 bottles produced. |
