Disznókö Tokaji Aszú Eszencia 2005 - 37,5 cl.
HK$ 1,725.17
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The spellbinding 2005 Tokaji Eszencia is pure Furmint picked through several selections and aged in the cellars for four years. Delivering a whopping 592 grams per liter residual sugar and 1.5% alcohol, it has a fabulous, very pure bouquet with notes of quince, apricot, white peach and just a touch of Earl Grey. It is very well-defined considering the huge sugar content. The palate is mellifluous, orgiastic and extraordinarily pure, with a sublime, unctuous finish that you can feel “glooping” down your throat. This constitutes one of the finest Eszencia wines that I have tasted. Just 428 half-bottles were produced. Drink now-2020+.

Description
Disznókö Tokaji Aszú Eszencia is a true speciality in the world of wine. Produced in the Tokaj region, this wine is made from Aszú grapes, specifically the Furmint variety in its entirety, both for the Aszú grapes and for the base must.
Winemaking
The meticulous selection of grapes is carried out individually, picking berry by berry in several harvests in the vineyard. These Aszú grapes are stored in stainless steel tanks until vinification. The maceration process of the uncrushed Aszú grapes in fermenting must lasts between 48 and 60 hours. After pressing, fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks. The wine is aged in oak barrels for four years in Disznókö's underground cellars.
Taste
Disznókö Tokaji Aszú Eszencia is a perfect combination of the fruity freshness and dynamism of Aszú wines with the thick, oily, creamy structure and honey-like concentration of Eszencia. It is a wine of great richness which, despite its youth, shows impeccable balance, finesse and complexity. With an alcohol content of 6.7%, a residual sugar of 326 g/l and a total acidity of 13.8 g/l, this wine is a true oenological masterpiece.
Disznókö's Tokaji Aszú Eszencia offers the opportunity to immerse yourself in a wave of sensations. It is ideal for tasting with a blue cheese with character or even experimenting with chocolate. Perfect as a dessert substitute, as the last drink of a big dinner or with a cigar, it is a true meditation wine. To enjoy it to the fullest, it is best served chilled, between 11-13°C. Once opened, it can be kept in the refrigerator for two weeks. Ready to enjoy and with an exceptionally long ageing potential of at least 30 years, it becomes a collector's wine.
