"... My wife and I tried this at the winery with the owner/winemaker Vince Gergely. At the end of our tasting, Vince walked into the room with a glass container that he was holding like a baby and poured some of the unfermented Eszencia into our glasses. Did I mention that 2000 was an absolutely stellar year in the Tokaji region? Well it was. I tried this wine and just sat there motionless. How could a wine be furry? It felt furry in my mouth. This wine was thick like the consistency of a very runny honey. It felt furry and yet it almost floated on my palate. It was light and airy and my tastebuds just about exploded. Super ripe pear, pure sugarcane, orange marmalade and peaches came to mind. This was like nothing, NOTHING, that I have ever tried. I swallowed my first sip and sat at the table dumbfounded. I knew I swallowed the wine. I could feel it go down my throat. Yet I could have sworn that the wine was still in my mouth. I sat there smacking my lips and trying to swallow it again. The length of this wine put every other wine I ever had to shame. And this first sample he poured for us didn't even have alcohol in it. Vince then asked us to follow him and he took us to the barrel which contained the 2nd half of the barrel sample of this wine. This part of his 2000 Eszencia contained about 1-2% alcohol at this stage. He poured some for us. The acidity in this sample was noticeably higher. The same flavors swirled on my palate. This sample had a little less body than the first. Somehow I was able to stay on my feet while tasting this wine. These 2 samples will compliment each other very well. Every once in a while a wine comes along which expands the boundaries of your thinking of what a wine can be. This was one of those wines for me. 99-100 points. 99-100 points"

"Tasted in vinces cellar. Totaly mindblowing, this is the perfect eszensia. More then 800g/l in sugar but with a acidity that balances it up so it actually feels fresh. Extremly long aftertaste. 100 points"

"I can't rate this, because to me it is so different to anything else I've experienced. 0.0% alcohol on the bottle. Sugar content likely way in excess of 500 ml/l. Amazing viscosity (I cleaned the remnants out of the glass with my finger). Mouthfeel is initially thick, but very quickly becauses fluffy and airy. Completely coats the mouth. Flavours are almost overwhelming. Incredible complexity and power. The acidity is perfection, and balances the sweetness remarkably well. The length of this wine is more than any other I've tried, although this may be due to the sheer viscosity. This was a remarkable experience, and I'm just sad I can't drink this every day. At 0% alcohol, this is the ultimate alcohol free wine. If I was a millionaire, I would always have a bottle open in the fridge."
