Lovely amantillado. Lively, nutty and fresh.

Apr 3rd, 2015Amontillado 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

Oct 2nd, 2021Smells of macerated cherries, dried figs, and orange zest. Tastes like chestnuts (or walnuts?) and saline. High in alcohol content, this elegant amontillado starts dry and then slips into a rich, complex finish with a lingering oakiness. Intense, but tasty.
