Wine By Nine

Dessert, Fortified & Fruit Wine by Royal Tokaji Wine Company from Hungary, European. The first perfect, 100-point score ever bestowed by Wine & Spirits Magazine. New, it has whiplash flavors and off-the-chart acidity that can catch in your throat. As it mellows, it casts an almighty deposit, it turns a wonderful bright mahogany color and weaves an astonishing tapestry of flavors - of apricots, quinces, marmalade, butterscotch... 'So different from other wines' said one critic, 'that it is like seeing a new primary color'. The first vintage of the true Royal Tokaji Essencia since the celebrated 1993, the 1999 Essencia is offered in a stately brass-hinged wooden box carved from Hungarian oak, lined with velvet and containing a hedonistic first - the indulgent Royal Tokaji Hungarian crystal sipping spoon. The spoon was designed exclusively for Royal Tokaji, enabling 33 sips per bottle - or 66 if you share your spoonful with a loved one. The back label bears the number of each bottle produced. 500ml bottle 2.9% Alcohol
