Lustau Sherry Solera Reserva Dry Amontillado Los Arcos NV
Sherry Jerez - Manzanilla, SpainThis beauty Amontillado streams walnut shells, Seville orange oil, grilled wood, smoked stones and large flake salt, the latter lingering along a very lengthy finish. Classic, textbook and so fresh and memorable. Exceptional value. The bodega started as an Almacenista, or buyer of wine, on the outskirts of Jerez de la Frontera in the 1890s. When Don Emilio Lustau Ortega took over from his father in law in the 1940's, he moved the bodega to Santiago in the old city, and founded Emilio Lustau SA, one of Sherry's most creative and consistent producers with numerous products in the portfolio, each held in high regard.Tasted: 07 October 2017Tasted by: Prices:BC | $20.00 | 375ml | private wine shops |
