Appearance
Copper tinted amber to mahogany with a slight trace of green at the rim, legs.
Nose
Classic Oloroso with a trace of Sanlúcar maritime crispness, clean, generous and open with hints of nutty sweetness, walnut and toasted almond with a touch of cinnamon and vanilla, then traces of polished furniture, but always with just enough of that sweet glyceric note to balance.Very appealing.
Palate
Crisp, lively entry then it opens out into a generous glyceric nuttiness but which is always contained by gentle tannins and acidity. Tight and fresh and amazingly long, this is a perfect wine for food as well as lively discussion.
Comments
Voted one of the three best wines in Spain and best Fortified by El Mundo Vino, this delightful Oloroso is at least 20 years old. It is bottled en rama and sealed with a driven cork. The solera originated with a purchase of a few butts of old Oloroso from the sale of Rumasa stocks when that huge firm went bust, and it has been refreshed since then with Oloroso from the Blanco brothers' own vineyard which surrounds the bodega just outside Sanlúcar.
Price
Around 25.00 Euros per 50cl bottle
