PX La Cilla 17.5%, Barbadillo

Appearance
Deep, almost opaque blacky brown through golden brown to amber rim, slow legs.
Nose
Most attractive, notes of honey and pasa, a certain dankness yet fresh, unctuous, traces of wood, licorice, carob, amazingly rich.
Palate
Really sweet and full of pasa pulp, quite penetrating with those traces of honey, licorice and wood to give a more serious side, terrific length.
Comments
Quite delicious. From what I can discover it has an average age of only five years in which case it is a real star, with amazing complexity for that age.

Price
Retail around £15 (UK importer Ehrmanns)
