Appearance
Very dark for its years, deep burnt umber fading to deep amber rim, legs.
Nose
Slight fruity note - is that a trace of PX? Quite deep and walnutty with hints of oak and a very slightly salty savoury hint, rich and quite full with an interesting interplay between fruity and savoury, and the slightest suggestion of well roast beef in a reduced plum sauce.
Palate
Dry and quite full yet still with that slightly fruity note, traces of tannin from the wood but well rounded, with hints of burnt sugar, coffee and a clean tasty, very slightly tangy finish.
Comments
This 5 year old Oloroso is the youngest they make but is a bit of a character. I enjoyed it with milk chocolate with crushed almonds, but it would be good with all sorts of roasts, stews or cheese.
Price
€4.79 ex bodega. Not sure of UK price but importers are Morgenrot
