NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Royal Tokaji Birsalmás 5 Puttonyos Aszú is a highly esteemed Hungarian dessert wine.It is made from the Furmint grape variety, which is known for its high acidity and ability to develop noble rot, a beneficial mold that concentrates the sugars and flavors in the grapes.
On the nose, it offers a complex bouquet of dried apricots, honey, orange peel, and hints of botrytis. These aromas are further complemented by subtle notes of vanilla and spice.
The flavors of dried fruits, particularly apricots and figs, dominate the palate, accompanied by nuances of caramel, marmalade, and a touch of nuttiness. The wine's velvety texture and long, lingering finish make it a true delight to savor.
This wine is best enjoyed as a dessert on its own or paired with rich, creamy desserts such as crème brûlée or blue cheese. It can also be a wonderful accompaniment to foie gras or spicy Asian dishes.
