An all time favorite, full of walnut depth, fabulous complexity and length. I think I have impacted the world supply of this great oloroso!

Deep amber color with beguiling and complex aromas of roasted walnuts, toffee, molasses, coffee flavors with hints of of orange zest and baking spice aromas. On the palate it's medium-bodied with very good acidity, and an appealing oily mouth feel with dried dates, raspberry juice, sweet coffee, seawater, lemon zest, and iodine flavors with a long finish.

Deep bench of flavor on a wine like this. Nuts, wax, toffee, coffee. Even better with notoriously hard-to-pair food like cauliflower or asparagus.

2021/8. This is initially very rich and luxurious, with caramel, dried and candies fruits and spice. Over days rancio note become slightly more evident. Wonderful as always.

P: old oranges, marmalade, puckering citrus, rinds, brown sugar, ( Demerara), so acidic and contrapuntally rich.
A feast.

2021/4. Intensely and rich, with lot of raisins, brandied fruit, and walnuts - but also a wonderful balancing acidity to keep things bright. Just a hint of rancio on the finish.
