Oloroso Urium 19%, Bodegas Urium

Appearance
Bright clean mahogany-amber through pale amber to slight trace of green at the rim, legs.
Nose
Aromatic and generous quite dry, but some implied sweetness follows through, very fine and elegant, traces of dry fruit cake, hazelnuts and walnuts, lightish but most attractive.
Palate
Very elegant, lightish and refined, lots of warm nutty flavours, even nut liqueur, perhaps a trace of polished furniture, long, dry with a trace of tannin but well rounded, beautifully balanced and delicious.
Comments
A really fine, elegant Oloroso. This is from the Classic range, after which they offer the VORS wines. It is undoubtedly from an old solera which the firm bought, but I know no more about it, except that it is lovely. As far as I am aware it is not imported into the UK. Sorry!

  1. Hi Paula, it is a very nice wine indeed. Bodegas Urium have finally found an importer in the UK, called Sherry Boutique.
