The 2018 Royal Tokaji Wine Company Blue Label Aszú 5 Puttonyos is a benchmark Hungarian dessert wine from the historic Tokaj region, crafted from botrytised grapes including Furmint and Hárslevelű. Representing a classic 5 Puttonyos style, it offers a rich yet balanced sweetness, underpinned by the region’s hallmark acidity and precision. The nose is intensely aromatic, showing apricot,peach and citrus marmalade, layered with honey, spice and delicate floral notes, alongside hints of almond and botrytis complexity.
On the palate, it is luscious and full-bodied with a silky texture, delivering flavours of ripe stone fruit, candied citrus and honey. Bright acidity keeps the wine fresh and vibrant, leading to a long, opulent and perfectly balanced finish. The style is rich yet lifted, combining sweetness, freshness and depth in a classic Tokaji expression.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an iconic sweet wine and a perfect introduction to premium Tokaji Aszú. It’s ideal for gifting or for customers seeking a luxurious yet balanced dessert wine. Drink now or cellar for 15–25+ years. Perfect with foie gras, blue cheese, fruit desserts or enjoyed on its own as a decadent after-dinner wine.
