Spicy and deep bouquet with notes of walnut, pepper, cinnamon, liquorice and toast. Moderately sweet, the wine has a lot of fat with a hint of nuts. The oxidative side is well balanced by the richness of the body. It is a wine from another world, out of the ordinary and difficult to describe because it is so complex! Not to be missed with a cigar... 91/100 Wine Advocate, R. Parker ; 91/100 Wine Spectator

Technique

Viticulture

A blend of terroirs: Carrascal (for body), Macharnudo (for finesse) and a touch of very old pedro ximenez sun-dried on mats which acts as a sweetener. It is this that brings the perceptible sweetness.

Oenology

The ageing is oxidative, but there is never any flor (veil). In fact, from the outset, we choose the style we want to make and, with a view to producing an oloroso, we mute a little stronger to obtain 19.5% alcohol. Thus, with this degree, the flor cannot appear. The maturation lasts more than 20 years in a solera that was set up in 1842 and has never been interrupted since. There are 60 grams of sugar left.
