Alvear Fino en Rama de Añada 2006
Montilla-Moriles, SpainA first in vintage-dated unblended fino but with traditional flor solera maturation. Very rancio, nutty, green olive, spicy, sweaty, slate aromas. Dry, round, elegant palate with grassy, peppery, herbal, nutty, spicy, leather flavours. There is a touch more alcohol and body than you might find in a normal, non-vintage fino. Its patina shows the extra aging.Tasted: 27 March 2013Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $23.00 | 500ml | speculative listing - Pacific Wine & Spirits |
