There are different types, both sweet and dry. I think that the best known is the sweet Aszú that is a good dessert wine but also is highly enjoyable on its own or with just a cookie or a little Danablu or Roquefort cheese.
Voltaire said about the Tokaji, “This wine invigorated every fibre of my brain and, deep in my soul, produces a charming glint of intelligence and good humour.” Personally I will say that both the dry and the sweet Tokaji wines have such a fullness and richness that they always make a very deep impression. They taste so overwhelmingly sensually that it almost seems sinful.
I remember once we served an Aszú as dessert wine at a dinner party. We had a great time and the conversation was lively and spirited but when the dessert and the Tokaji was served it almost killed the conversation for 10 – 15 minutes because our guests were almost overwhelmed by the complexity and intensity of the wine.
