Dictador 2 Masters Royal Tokaji 1982
Extraordinary masters create an amazing and timeless masterpiece. What happens when two masters of their craft create a masterpiece together? - The result is a spirit that blurs the boundaries between categories and is unrivaled. Every masterpiece has it's master. - The concept of the '2 Masters' series by Dictador.
The Masters:
- Hernan Parra, Dictador Master Blender.
- Kováces Adorján Zoltán, Winery Director Royal Tokaji

- Palate: Black Forest Gateau is the fist note, with all the dark cherry, cream and chocolate notes combining brilliantly. The dark cherry moves towards cinnamon and cigar tobacco on the palate, with a light coffee note adding texture and flavour.
- Finish: Rich, with a great mouth-coating property that allows the cocoa notes and red fruits to finish this sumptuous rum.

For the 2019 vintage of Amuse Bouche, it features the artwork by one the most prominent artists of our time. Françoise Gilot, born in 1921, is a decorated French painter perhaps best known for her long, stormy relationship with Pablo Picasso, with whom she had two children, Claude and Paloma. Gilot is highly regarded as an international artist of the second half of the twentieth century. She has exhibited her work for more than 50 years in the major art centers of Europe, Asia, and North America. She was awarded the French Order of Arts and Letters with rank of Commander in 1988, the French Legion of Honor with rank of Chevalier in 1990, and the rank of Officer in the National Order of Merit by the president of France in 1996.
Amuse Bouche 2019 is crafted in the Pomerol-style, is a blend of 92% Merlot and 8% Cabernet Franc from our vineyards in the east Rutherford Hills of Napa Valley.
"The 2019 Amuse Bouche, a Right Bank-inspired Merlot/Cabernet Franc blend is superb. Expansive, sweet aromatics are immediately seductive. Silky tannins wrap around a core of plum fruit, sweet tobacco, chocolate, spice and leather. This wonderfully expressive, elegant Napa Valley red hits all the right notes in a mid-weight, nuanced style that is all class." - Antonio Galloni, January 2022
"This is a beautiful, juicy, merlot-based red with melted-chocolate and berry aromas and flavors. It’s full and creamy with lovely balance and attractive character, showing freshness and layers of fruit. Violets and berries at the end. Merlot and cabernet franc. Gorgeous. Drink or hold." - 95 points, James Suckling
