Oremus Tokaji Aszu 5 Puttonyos 2000

“The 2000 Tokaji Aszu 5-Puttonyos comes from a warm year, so the acidity is comparatively lower at around 8.4 grams per liter. Although the bouquet displays good intensity, it does not possess the complexity of either the 2005 or 2006. It offers scents of orange peel, quince, grass clippings, marmalade and a slight yeasty note. The palate is medium-bodied with a gentle opening. The acidity certainly makes a difference after the 2005 and 2006, rendering it more approachable but slightly less thrilling because it does not have the same degree of tension. Still, there are plenty of dried mango, dried fig, marmalade and spice notes to enjoy, while the finish is harmonious, if perhaps just a little shorter than expected. Drink now-2025.” Neal Martin, Wine Advocate
