Royal Tokaji Betsek 5 Puttonyos 1990, presented in a 50cl bottle, is a mature sweet wine from The Royal Tokaji Wine Company, established in 1990 during Hungary`s wine resurgence. Sourced from the esteemed Betsek vineyard, the grapes for this sweet wine undergo the noble rot process, which concentrates their sugars and complex flavours. The bouquet of this mature bottling features notes of honey, dried fruit and citrus peel. The 5 Puttonyos designation indicates a pronounced sweetness, balanced by lively acidity. This vintage further illustrates the complexity and potential longevity of Tokaji wines, reflecting the producer`s commitment to tradition and quality.

The 1990 Tokaji Betsek 5-Puttonyos has 140g/L residual sugar and 9.35g/L acidity. Its lucid burnished gold color shows a faint green-tinted rim. The nose offers scents of crème caramel, butterscotch and toffee; it is not intense and perhaps missing a little focus, yet still agreeable. The palate is powerful on the entry and very viscous for a 5-Puttonyos, featuring barley sugar, quince and toffee. The acidity sits a little awkwardly and there is a lot of VA on the finish. Perhaps more interesting than an outright pleasure. Tasted at the Royal Tokaji Company tasting in London. Neal Martin1st July 2019
