Château Pajzos \"Princesse Pireska\" Tokaji Aszu 4-Puttonyos 1988

Tokaji is one of the world's great sweet wines, second only in recognition to France's Sauternes - yet it was France's King Louis XV who declared Tokaji \"The King of Wines, The Wine of Kings!\"

Produced in much the same process as Sauternes, the grapes are affected by the botrytis cinerea (aka \"Noble Rot\") which suffer dehydration and thus a concentration of the sugary pulp which is then pressed and fermented.  The wines are then categorised by sweetness with ascending Puttonyos, 1 (dry, table wine) to 7 (very sweet, very rare & very expensive!).
