Tokaji Masterclass at the Hungarian Embassy in Oslo Part VII: Essencia

It's rare to get to taste any Essencia (not to be confused with Aszu Essencia), and rarer even, to have two side by side.

2007 Crown Estate Tokaji Essencia;
Golden, very rich nose, but not too intense. Apricots, extremelly layered of all kinds of (yellow) fruits. Almost flinty behind. Gooseberries, raspberries, superb elegance, beautiful, if on the tender side, maybe even fragile, long, superbly elegant. 94
500 g.rs, 8,7 acidity, 3%

2005 Dominum Tokaji Eszencia;
Amber, floral and all kinds of fruits, some spices, a nose you could try to describe in book form. Imensely sweet, with superb acidity to back it up, playful and refined, gorgeous, refreshing even, stunning, and incredibly long. 98
614 g.rs, 17,5 acidity, 1,67%
