58 year aged sherry. Unbelievable complexity. Salinity, mushroom, toasted hazelnuts, high acid and long finish.

Insanely complex with notes of toffee, hazelnut, browned butter and button mushrooms. Bone dry, nodding it’s head to its fino heritage. Only 150 bottles released from a 50-80yo solera annually. Bottles em rama. Amazing.

So many things I could say about this #amontillado suffice it to say that this is one of those wines that you plan the food around the wine

Subtlety is king here. All the notes you're looking for, but delicate and finely balanced. 47 years old. Stunning and austere.

Tasted at No 3, Friday 16th January 2015. Bottled from one of the four casks left, minimal filtration or clarification. This is a great Amontillado, deep, topaze colour. Profound and complex nose, rich with a hint of sweetness. This to me evokes my childhood and those evenings in the winter seating next to the fire place and eating some grilled chestnuts. A great old Sherry!

It is a good Wednesday that ends with a one cask run of a five cask solera. This is dry, penetrating, ancient Amontillado- the kind that Poe's Fortunado longed for. Hopefully I won't end up walled in!!!

Great, complex elegant and powerful. Rare bottling. Hard to find. Finer than Napoleon and Romero Oloroso
