The wine of kings, and the king of wines — Louis XIV's phrase, not ours. Botrytised grapes picked berry by berry, kneaded into a paste and folded back into base wine, then aged in Hungarian oak. Apricot, honey and orange marmalade, held up by an acidity that keeps it from ever cloying.
Recorked in the fridge, it holds for a week or more

Questions
What does "5 Puttonyos" mean?
A puttony is the traditional basket used to carry botrytised aszú berries. The number tells you how many baskets of that concentrated paste went into each barrel of base wine — so five puttonyos is a richer, sweeter wine than three, and closer in intensity to the very top bottlings.
Is it too sweet to drink?
No, and this is the thing people are always surprised by. Botrytis concentrates acidity at the same time as sugar, so the wine finishes bright and clean rather than syrupy. It is one of the very few dessert wines you can drink a full glass of.
How long will it keep unopened?
Decades. The combination of high sugar and high acidity makes Tokaji Aszú one of the longest-lived wines in the world — bottles from the nineteenth century are still drinking. It will not go anywhere in your cellar.
Who is this a good gift for?
A wine lover, a keen cook, or anyone marking a birth year or anniversary — Tokaji is vintage-dated and ages for decades, so it is an unusually meaningful bottle to lay down. It also happens to be one of the great sweet-wine bargains.
