Tasted while visiting the producer, the Szent Tamas Tokaji 86 470 Palack Furmint 2012 is as with all wines from this region are mineral-driven and nuanced The '86' is a reference to the parcel the Furmint grapes were harvest from, 2286. Truly, the Crus of this region are as complex as one might find in Burgundy. This bottling, one of only 470 magnums shows little fruit, scant notes of pear skin and banana chips converge with a pure expression of sun, soil, pomace, and clay, bolstered by taut acidy and an almost amaranthine finish. 14.0% ABV 1.8 RS | Sample — 9 years ago
Delicious, once aired; very smooth and fruity - 2011 vintage — 11 years ago
This was my WOW wine of the week. Not a wine of great complexity but it blew my socks off for its elegance and balance even at 15.5% abv! I know it's hard to believe but this wine skillfully and successfully argues that high alcohol wines can be balanced. I pegged it at 13% with no heat or prickle. The wine was neutral on the nose and mineral driven with restrained pear, melon, and carnation on the nose. Tasted blind it lacked the weight of Chardonnay and aromas of Pinot Grigio and Chenin blanc but the lemon green color was spot in for all three. High acid had me leaning toward Chenin.
