This Tokaji Dry Szamorodni is an intriguing and exciting wine, made in a style that was once in favour throughout the region, however now on the brink of dying out.

Once opened the aromas are reminiscent of a fino or barbadillo Sherry, as the oxidative nutty flavours are a delightful accent to a rich honey note. The botrytised berries offer richness, a touch of dried apricot and a light muscat florality. One wouldn't place this as a 2003 vintage as the wine is still bursting with freshness and showing plenty of ageing capability.

A great pairing would be with Spanish garlic prawns, cured mangalitza ham or tomato insalata.
