We did have a bottle of Semillon Late Harvest from Sandalyn Wilderness Estate but it was corked. Those composite corks are a bad sign, so easy to ruin your wine if you bottle it with them. So we had to pop this to finish the night.
Tokaji Aszu 6 Puttonyos 2000, Disznoko

Tokaji Aszu 6 Puttonyos 1999, OremusA heady golden colour. The nose is very ripe and botrytic, but has no sign of oxidation. Amazing! It is largely clean and full of fruit…
