86/B+
Tasted by Mike Supple - 21 Feb 2009
Soft lemon yellow hue with a clear rim. A touch of oak and butter floats on the nose over bright citrus and green apple. Lemons and limes fill the front palate, and are matched by a slightly sweet hint of yellow apples. Clean finish with a lingering touch of oak and cream.
A very mellow, easy-to-drink wine.

87 / B
Tasted by Mike Supple - 04 Feb 2008
Bright yellow core with a golden tint, thinning around the rim. Big candied lemon aromas are accented by cantaloupe, light toasted walnut and a hint of oak. Round and full in the mouth with a nice medium-bodied weight. A good amount of acid keeps it bright. Creamy lemons are surrounded by cantaloupe and yellow pear, leading to a nice cream and butter finish.
This is a good, but not great wine. Fun if you are looking for something you don’t see very often. NOT to be confused with the famous dessert Tokaji Hungary (which is generally made from a grape called Furmint). This wine is at its peak. Drink before 2009.

90 / B+
Tasted by Mike Supple - 15 Oct 2007
Medium lemon yellow color. Butter and candied lemon aromas are surrounded by a touch of oak and candied green apples. Good richness in the mouth with full and persistent yet small and creamy bubbles. Not overly acidic with good balance of fruit and toast.
