Deep bright amber fading through amber to yellowy green rim, legs.
Nose
Elegant, very fine, forthcoming, walnut in syrup with a slightly savoury edge and a crisp note, and at the same time a touch of implicit sweetness, quite rich with some chestnut there too and a toasty suggestion of oak.
Palate
Tangy and elegant, some age but not too full and lean, well rounded with that savoury edge and implicit sweetness yet dry. Beautifully controlled oxidation, nutty with the slightest trace of natural chocolate and toast. Considerable length.
Comments
Although perhaps appearing older, Don Nuno is aged for about 12 years.From Lustau's Solera Reserva range, it is delicious, and a very good example of oloroso.
Price
£ 13.95 from Drinkmonger, and very reasonable too.
