Nose

Királyudvar’s Esszencia is a drink that seems otherworldly. It releases a scent that you can almost see. It is deep and concentrated, yet elegant despite its concentration. The wine is reminiscent of quinces and cider pears, both candied and preserved. Notes of blond tobacco, leather polish and wax, malt, rock candy and smoke, licorice, and a blend of ripe stone fruit in honey are detected, before the mushroom and raisin notes of an absolutely pure botrytis intrude. It is absolutely fascinating.

Palate

On the palate, it becomes viscous. This nectar glides creamily over the palate. The incredible amount of sweetness is impressively balanced by the acidity. At the same time, it is clear that this essence can only be enjoyed in small, almost meditative sips. Its density is simply enormous. It is nice that the acids and bitterness of oranges and grapefruits, and also a hint of Earl Grey, are added to this range of diverse aromas that one has already perceived on the nose. This unique substance is hardly a wine in the usual sense: it is wine, manna, honey, ambrosia…, in other words, it is downright divine and almost imperishable.
