Château Dereszla, Henye Tokaji Aszu 6 Puttonyos, - 50cl 2017
Many of the world's great sweet whites come from Tokaj in Hungary, which for centuries was known as the "Wine of Kings, King of Wines". Château Dereszla is one of the region's most iconic producers and their Henye Tokaji Aszu 6 Puttonyos 2017, crafted from carefully selected botrytized grapes, showcases the exceptional terroir of the Henye vineyard. Puttonyos refers to the amount of residual sugar in the wine - the higher the better, ranging from 3 to 6 - though this is extra special, having been made from the revered Aszu grapes, reserved only for the greatest Tokaji, including the famous "Tokaji Eszencia". Expect an intricate bouquet of dried apricots, honey, and delicate floral notes, with a balanced acidity that complements its rich sweetness. This would pair beautifully with foie gras, blue cheese, or fruity desserts.
CHÂTEAU RIEUSSEC 1er Cru Classé Sauternes 2016
The 2018 Rieussec has plenty of botrytis on the nose, along with scents of honey, white peach, saffron, lanolin and walnut that gain intensity with aeration. The very well balanced palate presents a viscous opening and a fine bead of acidity. Generous and poised, with hints of marzipan and Turkish Delight decorating the finish. Excellent. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.
