Awards/Ratings
Consistently highly scored across vintages: Wine Enthusiast up to 96, James Suckling ~94–96, Decanter ~94, Wine Spectator and Robert Parker scoring in the low-to-mid 90s for various vintages

Tasting Note
Golden-amber; intense apricot, honey, candied orange and dried tropical-fruit aromas. Vivid citrus and stone-fruit acidity balances a rich, marmalade-like palate with notes of ginger, toasted almond and spice. Exceptionally long, spicy, honeyed finish.

Food Pairing
Western: foie gras, blue cheeses (Stilton), apricot tart, crème brûlée, roast duck with fruit glaze. Asian: Thai green curry, mildly spiced Szechuan dishes, hoisin-glazed pork, mango sticky rice, dim sum with sweet-savory sauces.

Production Method
Hand-harvested botrytised (aszú) berries added to must, long pressing and maceration; fermentation in stainless steel and small oak barrels; aged in oak (usually 1–2 years) before bottling.
