Bewertungen:
5 Sterne (max.), "Große Weine" (Michael Broadbent)
"Ein herausragender Jahrgang, der beste seit 1947 ... Mehrmals verkostet, das erste Mal 1973. 1989 warme Bernsteinfarbe mit goldenen Reflexen; sehr gehaltvoll, gebackene Äpfel, Rosinen und Honig; eine Süße und Intensität wie eine Trockenbeerenauslese, aber nicht schwer. Weich, fett, herrlich im Geschmack. 1994 zwei Einträge, beide Male auf den blass limonengelben Rand verwiesen, große Tiefe, ein Hauch von Karamell, hohe Säure. Zuletzt im Mai 2000 im Musée Baccarat in Paris verkostet. In Bestform. *****"

Tasting notes from Cellartracker.com:

"I brought this bottle to a tasting where it was tasted beside of Ch Climens and Ch Lafaurie-Peyraguey. The Tokay showed a very good balance, intense flavors of nuts and a delicate sweetness. For me it was more elegant than the Sauternes wines in this flight. The last 15% of the bottle was kept and tasted 4 days later. It showed excellent condition. Even if the wine was very good now, it will last for several decades
more. 94 points."

"Borkombinat was the large state owned cooperative during the communist era which I believe later changed their name to Kereskedöház and has now been reorganized into Crown Estates. Matched with dessert of white and dark chocolate mousse with a raspberry sauce. This was a dark burnt orange/brown color. On the nose it had a hint of balsamic. Wonderful fruit still present in this wine. Notes of blackberry, orange peel and plum brandy. Almost portlike in character. This wine was primarily characterized by very lively acidity which held everything together. Full bodied. A great experience."
