Lustau Amontillado Solera del Castillo 125 NV
Sherry Jerez - Manzanilla, SpainResting in the 13th century Castillo de San Marco, in the town of El Puerto de Santa María, this special wine is a specific barrel selection from an inverted solera, with the oldest barrels at the top of the rows, and the youngest at the bottom. The wines were biologically aged for the first four years of their life before undergoing oxidative aging for the next 25 years, 17 of them untouched. Insane layers of caramel, hazelnut, sea salts, worn leather on a bone dry, heady, potent, amply marine palate. Roasted salted hazelnuts take over the core, buffered with orange peel, before a lingering smouldering rock salt finish. A stunner of a wine to unfold over a day.Tasted: 10 April 2022Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:Grape: Palomino Fino
