The 1999 Royal Tokaji Red Label is a deliciously rich, golden-orange colored wine. It exhibits aromas of botrytis (an earthy, fresh mushroom aroma), followed by hints of tropical fruit, lemon, orange and apricot. On the palate, there are also tropical fruit flavors mixed with characteristic orange-peel and quince flavors. This is well-balanced wine with a long finish. It is ready to drink now or can be set aside to enjoy in the future.

Serving Suggestions: Serve slightly chilled (50-54°F) in a small port glass or a glass of similar size (there are approximately eight two-ounce servings per 500ml bottle). Tokaji Aszú wines are wonderful on their own as an apéritif or as a digestif, with cigars and petits fours. These wines also pair well with a wide variety of foods, including foie gras, fruit tarts, chocolate desserts and blue and soft cheeses.

Wine Information

There were two hailstorms in the Tokaji region in August; as a result, the remaining grapes developed great intensity and concentration. The grapes were picked in perfect weather conditions during late September and early October.
