| “It’s easy to run out of superlatives when talking about thrillingly complex wines such as the Mézes Mály or Nyulászó from the Royal Tokaji Wine Company…Royal Tokaji’s 1999 Essencia rendered our panel speechless with its seamlessly complex array of flavors. Our critic Tara Q. Thomas had no choice but to give it 100 points, the first such score in our magazine’s history.” |

Royal Tokaji was founded in 1989 by well-known wine author Hugh Johnson and other investors who were inspired after the fall of Communism to restore and preserve what they considered a dying art. The winery is located on the main square in the village of Mád, Hungary, 125 miles northeast of Budapest in the Tokaj wine region. Royal Tokaji owns a unique combination of first and second growth vineyards that have always been privately owned, including one of the two great first growths: Mézes Mály. Royal Tokaji crafts its Aszú wines using traditional gönci casks and ages the wines in its 13th –century underground cellars. Richness with high acidity levels is the hallmark of the Royal Tokaji wines. Royal Tokaji was the first private company in 50 years to export Aszú and Aszú Essencia wines abroad.
