Tokaji Furmint LH 2006
Awards
Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, 90 points. “Th is late-harvest white is all about the silky texture, which provides a backdrop for the orange, peach, lanolin and honey notes. The acidity gets help from the light tannins for structure, and this has body. Seems less sweet than its peers. Drink now through 2020.”
