This wine most likely was made by the state and selected by Disznoko
after they moved in. I am troubled by the price. A true Tokaji Eszencia
of high quality is likely to sell for much more than the estimated price
you quote. The price is more in line with Tokaji Aszu Eszencia. I have
seen mix-ups by wine companies that do not notice the slight difference
in name, but extreme difference in quality. So far as I know, the last
qreat traditional true Eszencia that was made and sold to the public was
the 1945. Some of the new wave companies are making Eszencia, but it
will take about 50 years before we know the true quality of some of this
new wave Tokaji. Even if the wine is Tokaji Aszu Essencia, this is a
very rich wine. I have not tasted the one you mentioned. I would expect
fruit, dry fruit, and a bit of caramel, Some wines from this era are
quite good although not as good as they could be. Just don't expect a
clone of Sauternes - the taste is qute different.
