"With the dessert we had two glasses of this highest grade of Tokaji from the family that "invented" the wine some 340 years ago... Bright orange color, complex flowers and spices nose, delicate smooth honey on the palate. Extremely viscous and very noble. Superb-plus!! MARK 18.5/20."

"... Amber-orange colour. Most pretty and subtile XO Cognac note, freshly floral candied and dried apricot-driven, ripe lightly baked apple, lovely acacia honey. A noticeably less fat, if not lean, beauty that retains fine vinosity despite low alcohol, and that seems significantly less marked by oxidation than the 1993 Király AE, and most assuredly not negatively, at least at this early stage of its development. Very long and candied-fruity. 94 points."
