97 Points – Wine Enthusiast“This golden-colored Tokaji has aromas of raw honey, apricot blossom, pear and baked apple tart. Silky smooth upon entry, it offers flavors of baked apples, wildflower honey, canned pears and apricot. The acidity is nicely balanced so as not to be too cloyingly sweet.” -JJ, 9/1/21
96 Points – Wine Spectator“Well-spiced and minerally on the nose, showing hints of petrol and slate, with a brilliant backbone of acidity creating a mouthwatering frame for the silky flavors of apricot pâte de fruit, clover honey, passion fruit coulis and lanolin that expand on the palate. This is an explosion of flavor and texture, yet remains light on its feet and graceful throughout. A beauty. Drink now through 2040. 1,950 cases made, 100 cases imported.” -AN, 3/31/22
91 Points – Vinous“The 2016 Tokaji Aszú 6 Puttonyos has a waxier, more resinous nose compared to the 2013 5 Puttonyos that I tasted alongside, and does not quite deliver the same precision. There is a light adhesive scent that loiters in the background. The palate is better, offering tangy marmalade, bitter orange and peach on the entry. This is an assertive and striking Tokaji, although the bitterness on the aftertaste means that it will show much better partnered with, say, a 36-month-old Comté.” -NM, Aug/2020
