Deep Brown mahogany
with reddish coppery tints through yellow to slightest trace green at the rim,
slow legs.
Nose
Forthcoming
and deep with savoury walnut notes – even a trace of Marmite - and background
hints of wood. There is a certain note of raisiny sweetness and the 18% is
noticeable along with traces of autumn leaves. It is a serious full-bodied wine
with some age, very Oloroso.
Palate
Full, quite
big, assertive, yet smooth. Dry and mouthfilling with slightly dank damp barrel
and deep walnut flavours along with a very savoury oxidative character. It has a
gentle refreshing acidity, good balance and length.
Comments
A very good
wine, benchmark Oloroso yet with its own style. The Classic rang is the
bodega’s entry level at about 8 years old, but as such better than many.
Price£12,95 from Drinkmonger, UK agents Boutinot
