Dominium Cuvée Late Harvest Tokaji 2006

Here's a fine value, very nicely balanced late harvest wine from Tokaj, produced from botrytis affected grapes but without skin contact or barrel maturation as for more traditional style tokaji aszú. The nose is still relatively fresh, although I appreciate the developing quince and dried floral notes. Acids are lively and balanced, keeping this light on its toes, with fine and lingering finish. A fine way to spend the afternoon or wind up the evening with fruit-based desserts or soft cheeses. Score - 90. (John Szabo, M.S., winealign.com, Dec. 13, 2013)
