Made principally from Furmint, with Hárslevelű contributing further aromatic and textural complexity, it is produced from grapes affected by noble rot, or botrytis, which concentrates the fruit while bringing its distinctive honeyed, dried-fruit character. The 2019 vintage produced wines of impressive concentration and freshness, and the Blue Label balances its natural richness with the vivid acidity that is central to fine Tokaji.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine opens with apricot, peach, orange and honey, developing into layers of dried fruit, flowers, spice and beeswax. Rich and concentrated on the palate, its sweetness is carried by bright acidity that keeps the texture poised rather than heavy, while citrus and stone-fruit flavours build through the finish. Approximately 155.5g\/L of residual sugar is balanced by around 7.2g\/L acidity and 11.5% alcohol, giving the wine both richness and lift. Matured in Hungarian oak, the 2019 is already compelling but has the balance to develop further in bottle. Serve with foie gras, blue cheese and fruit-based desserts, or enjoy slowly on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2456\" data-end=\"2473\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2456\" data-end=\"2473\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2475\" data-end=\"2483\"\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2483\" data-end=\"2486\"\u003e – Rich, floral and botrytised\u003cbr data-start=\"2515\" data-end=\"2518\"\u003e Apricot, peach, honey and dried fruit with orange peel, flowers, beeswax and gentle spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2610\" data-end=\"2763\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2610\" data-end=\"2620\"\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2620\" data-end=\"2623\"\u003e – Sweet, concentrated and vibrant\u003cbr data-start=\"2656\" data-end=\"2659\"\u003e Ripe stone fruit and honey are balanced by vivid acidity, silky texture and layered botrytis complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2765\" data-end=\"2924\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2765\" data-end=\"2775\"\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2775\" data-end=\"2778\"\u003e – Long, fresh and harmonious\u003cbr data-start=\"2806\" data-end=\"2809\"\u003e Persistent apricot, citrus, honey and dried-fruit notes linger with refreshing acidity and a finely balanced close.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2926\" data-end=\"2949\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2926\" data-end=\"2949\"\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"2951\" data-end=\"3023\"\u003e“Now at its ideal drinking age this is an excellent introduction to the world of Tokaji Aszú.
