Half-Bottle (2)
A Curated Cellar of Distinction: Treasures from a Celebrated New York Restaurateur From the cellar of a renowned New York City restaurant comes an exceptional collection assembled with discernment and devotion. Every bottle was acquired directly from the city’s most trusted distributors and has been maintained since purchase in ideal temperature- and humidity-controlled conditions. Guided by a buyer with a passion for excellence, the selection reflects an unerring eye for the world’s great wines—Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Domaine Leflaive, Selosse, and Krug, to name just a few. A rare opportunity for collectors who recognize provenance as the truest mark of quality.
“The 2016 Tokaji Essencia is a production of just 2,300 bottles. It contains 535 g/l residual sugar and 15.5 g/l acidity and was bottled slightly earlier after three years' maturation in demijohn. This is slightly darker in colour compared to the 2017. The nose has changed a little since I tasted it a couple of years ago, quince and marmalade, a little more caramel and caramelized pear. It actually reminds me of a Vin de Constance. The palate is stunning on the entry with a voluminous unctuosity that almost overwhelms the senses, repeating those quince and marmalade notes with a hint of Devonshire fudge and Anjou pear that fan out with immense purity and underlying citrus tones. Outstanding.” (98 pts. Neal Martin, Vinous, Feb. 2025)
