This Tokaji is dark amber in color, with aromas of honeysuckle, peach and acacia flower. In the mouth there are flavors of clover honey, pear and baked sweet apples. Acidity is well balanced to the amount of sweetness.
James Suckling: 95 PointsThis is a great introduction to Tokaji Aszu at the beginning of its (very long) ideal drinking window. Stunning nose of lemon curd, dried peach and candied pineapple. Rich and creamy with a touch of marzipan character, but more importantly bright acidity and fine tannins that makes this so invigorating. Spot-on balance through the very long and bright finish. A blend of 75% furmint, 15% zeta and 10% harslevelu. Sustainable.

The 5 Puttonyos designation refers to the number of puttonyos (buckets) of Aszú grapes added to a 136-liter barrel of must. In Hungary, Aszú wines are categorized by the number of puttonyos, with higher numbers indicating a greater concentration of sugar in the wine.

Overall, Disznókő 5 Puttonyos is a high-quality sweet wine that showcases the unique terroir of the Tokaj region. It is a great choice for those who appreciate sweet wines with complex flavors and aromas.
