There is so much going on in Tokaji Essencia, flavours of pineapple, citrus, lichee, orange blossom, strawberries and cream, dried apricot.

Isla Hart –
What a special gem?! I can understand how they used to use this as medicine in the old days. It’s so concentrated, with all the goodness preserved in there, it’s astonishing. I have never tasted anything like this before, can’t even compare it to anything else on the market. Complex, and delightful. Pricey, but I am glad I gave myself the opportunity to try it.
