Very mineral style of dry Tokaji wine. In the nose it feels mineral and dry with canned tropicl fruit and apricot tones. It is not aromatic at all, rather gentle. The same is depicted in a taste: very complex, creamy and mineral, rather complex wine. It would not be a choice for lovers of expressive wines as it is rather smoky rich flavored.
Just found this funny review of this wine here:

I think the polite description is that the wine is "brooding" (which can be taken as complex, layered and requiring time to discover its true meaning)!
