Alex Hunt: At five years old, this is still dense, unformed, full of raw promise. There is real power to the fruit, and yet the palate achieves pinpoint balance. The acidity focuses the wine without being strident, and there is a sense of fluidity and grace that belies the underlying concentration. Very impressive - 18

Andrew Jefford: Full gold, gleaming in the glass. Serene, harmonious, and sweet-scented but a little low on detail. It hints at linden, so perhaps there is a decent dollop of Hárslevelu˝ in here. Palate much as the nose: a generous, smooth, rounded wine, with a little shy apricotty fruit, soft acidity, and a gently caramelly finish. Nothing wrong with it at all, and it would make very delicious sipping, though perhaps not worth sending Cossacks all the way from Moscow for - 13

Mark Savage: A paler amber like wine [Disznóko˝ Tokaji Aszú 5 Puttonyos 2007]. Has the intensity of youth been replaced by the complexity of age? Perhaps not, but even if there is no special depth of concentration or complexity here, there is at least a nice level of elegance. It is relatively understated, not offering a bouquet of fireworks but certainly providing charm and pleasure - 15
