Fernando de Castilla Amontillado NV
Sherry Jerez - Manzanilla, SpainWas on the winelist at El Bulli. Extreme concentration - layers upon layers. Nuttiness hints of oxidative aging, married with briny saltiness. Well roasted salted almonds, fresh walnuts, very fine orange and almond oil. Bone dry, with sea salt flaking across the finish. This elegant, lighter bodied wine carries lightly sweet caramel notes through the exceptional finish. Over 20 years old, defined by "Antique Amontillado" on the label, this producer doesn't use VOS terminology. A beauty with beef consommé, wild mushrooms, chestnuts.Tasted: 23 September 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:AB | $60.00 | 500ml |
