Grand Tokaji Szamorodni 2018

Reviewed on January 19, 2023

Dessert wine is one of the most under appreciated wine categories. That’s too bad because people don’t know what they are missing! The good news is that there are some great buys to be found on the market and this Grand Tokaji Szamorodni from Hungary is definitely one of them. Hungary has a long history of epic sweet wines. This Szamorodni is a good gateway wine. When it comes to dessert wine, a little goes a long way so my usual pour is 2 ounces. Grab some cheese or a piece of carrot cake and a glass of this wine. It has aromas and flavours of apricots, oranges, peaches and honey. The perky acidity helps to make this wine medium sweet with a lifted finish.
