2005

To me, the wines of 2005 are like watching a firework display: explosive, bright, colourful and vibrant. This vintage is focussed with a deep structure together with bright, lively acidity. As many of our wines, they show both great intensity and power.

We experienced a rather cool and damp season but then an Indian summer with many warm and dry days stretching into early November. Not many aszú berries developed but those we had were of exceptional quality. It was exciting following the changes in the grapes, watching the blush of the Botrytis appearing on the perfectly ripe grapes. They have given us wonderfully surprising wines with superb length and balance, somewhat reminiscent of the 1999 vintage, a truly classic year for Tokaj.
