Amontillado by one of the leading producers in the Montilla-Moriles appellation (therefore made with Pedro Ximenez, as opposed to Palomino). About 25 years old - 12 years of biological aging under flor followed by another 12 years of oxidative aging. Aromas of caramel, orange peel, hay, some toffee. Dry, sharp, saline, long finish with intense notes of roasted hazelnuts
