"This late harvest opens the domaine's sweet range: magnificent balance between sugar, fruitiness, and vibrancy: high mastery!"
"Amber in the glass, this late-harvest Hungarian wine presents aromas of acacia honey, beeswax, honeycomb and apricot. On the palate, it offers flavors of apricot, yellow peach, caramelized pineapple, rose petal and white peach. It is well-structured on the palate, with a final note of caramelized ginger." (Wine Enthusiast 2022)
