97/100 — Christer Byklum · 2009 Vintage, Tasted: Aug 2023
“Amber served blind. Rich nose, so much botrytis and peach, honey, almond flowers, raisins, deep and complex, stunning nose. Fresh acidity, intense sweetness, detailed, nuanced, creamy, playful yet intensely sweet and incredible texture, long.”

James Suckling · 2009 Vintage, Tasted: Aug 2022
“Wine does not get more concentrated, dense and viscous than this Tokaji Essencia, but alongside the unctuous sweetness, it also has extraordinary freshness. The fruit aromas range from blood to quince jelly, but there's also a slew of spices and notes of flowers and forest honey. Although it barely has 2% alcohol, it is much more vinous than that figure suggests. Titanic creme brulee character at the huge finish. Just 1,386 half-bottles were made. Should live longer than any of us! Drink or hold.”

About This Wine

Essencia is the world’s most concentrated essence of its ripest grapes. Essencia is the liquid gold that very slowly oozes from a pile of aszú grapes raisined by botrytis.

The 2009 vintage was harvested between October and November, with grapes picked individually during the aszuzás process.

The juice fermented spontaneously and extremely slowly in glass jars, followed by ageing for seven years in glass jars before bottling. Essencia is made in very limited quantities and represents the most concentrated expression of Tokaji.
