Alex Hunt: The only amber-colored wine among these younger 6 puttonyos offerings, and yet there is no evidence of oxidation on the nose. Instead, we get really decadent poachedpeach aromas, and a palate to match. While acidity is on the lowish side for Tokaji, there is a faint bitter-almond note that subtly boosts the freshness and prevents the whole from becoming syrupy. A lesson in sophisticated opulence - 17.5

Andrew Jefford: This wine comes in the middle of a run of 2006s, yet its color is by far the deepest: a gold so deep that it is almost russet orange. Very choice, classic, moistly appley scents, though there’s a musky sweetness, too, and something almost orangey, as well as a big dollop of cream. Exuberant, booming, and enticing. Also lots of beeswax, pollen, and honeycomb. Not only hugely characterful but very charming with it. Open and accessible, yet full of articulacy and resource: fragrant orange to balance the apricot and pineapple. Soft, comely, fleshy; smoothtextured and thick. Plenty of acidity, yet that acidity trembles with orangey sweetness, if this isn’t a contradiction in terms. Some Yellow Muscat in here? A sweet, buxom prima donna among Tokajis. Gorgeous if less subtle than some - 16.5

Mark Savage: A deeper amber to gold color and a quite different style on the nose, seemingly older than the previous wine of the same vintage. It therefore conjures up or demands a different vocabulary, earthier, nuttier, less floral; more tree bark or walnuts or dark honey and burned cream; more oxidation here perhaps but still great freshness and great character in a very contrasting style to the previous wine. I give it an equal score but for very different reasons - 17
