94 points James Suckling: "Attractive nose of dried apricots, candied plums and hints of tea leaves and vanilla. Medium- to full-bodied with vivid acidity and a dense, creamy texture. It shows chocolate bitterness at the end. Very long and textural, with a lot of delicious fruit upfront. Drink or hold. (Sep 2024)"
93 points/'#67 Top 100 Wines of 2024' Wine Spectator: "Bright and beautiful, this harmonious version integrates mouthwatering acidity with a rich range of pureed apricot, dried raspberry and orange marmalade, with hints of praline, crystallized honey and sea salt. There's a plushness to the texture without being weighty; this is long and expressive on the finish. Furmint and Hárslevelü. Drink now through 2038. (Nov 2024)"
93 points Wine Enthusiast: "Don't let the richness of all the poached peach, pear and apricot aromas fool you: bright, beautiful acidity underscores every sip this stunning, structured wine. Expect notes of honeysuckle and candied ginger among the heavenly stewed fruits on the palate, plus a long, elegant finish. (Sep 2024)"
93 points Andy Howard MW (Decanter): "Another fine wine from Royal Tokaji. Botrytis-concentrated berries are macerated in fermenting must for two days, prior to ageing in 300L and 500L Hungarian oak casks, and aged for several years before blending. Deeper in hue, a rich style on the nose with plenty of crisp acidity to balance the flavours of lemon tart. 158g/l RS. Drinking window 2025-2040 (Sep 2025)"
