Description

HISTORY
Tokaji Essencia can claim to be the first of the world's great sweet wines.King Louis XV of France called it the wine of kings and the king of wines.The elixir was so prized by the Tzars of Russia,that they maintained a detachment of Cossacks solely for the purpose of escorting convoys of the precious liquid from Hungary to the Royal cellars of St.Petersburg.
Essencia first appeared in a Christies catalogue,dated 1770 and an appreciative connoisseur was Thomas Jefferson,who imported and served "rich Tokaji"(for which I paid a guinea a bottle)at his presidential banquets in the early 1800's.
Aszu Essencia represents the highest quality amongst Tokaji wines,higher than the 6 puttonyos level.It has more than 180 grams per liter of residual sugar content and over 50 grams of sugar free extract.

I personally have not tasted the 1964 Essencia,but this bottle appears in good condition and should,once opened, reflect all the great qualities of Essencia.Typically the wine should show incredible sumptuousness and richness,botrytis,marmalade,lanolin,peach,butterscotch and raisin flavours.An ethereal fragrance of honied dried apricots and beautifully balanced liquorous in texture and a lingering finish that has the richness of honey.
