The 2018 Tokaji Oremus Aszú 5 Puttonyos is a benchmark Hungarian dessert wine from the historic Tokaj region, crafted from botrytized grapes (primarily Furmint and Hárslevelű) using traditional methods. With 5 puttonyos, it represents a richer, more concentrated style while maintaining the hallmark balance of sweetness and acidity. The nose is intensely aromatic and layered, offering apricot, honey, and citrus blossom, complemented by notes of marmalade, candied orange peel, and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a luscious, silky texture and vibrant acidity. Flavors of ripe stone fruit, fig, and honey are balanced by a zesty freshness, leading to a long, rich, and harmonious finish. The style is opulent yet precise, delivering sweetness without heaviness and exceptional aging potential.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a top-tier Tokaji for customers seeking a richer, more luxurious dessert wine with depth and complexity. Ideal for fans of Sauternes or premium sweet wines with strong acidity. Drink now or cellar for 15–20 years. Perfect with foie gras, blue cheese, fruit desserts, or as a contemplative after-dinner wine.
