This is a 'true' amontillado – it started off as fino but during the ageing process the protective flor died exposing the sherry to oxygen. This caused the colour and style to change, contributing a more nutty character.

Review and Tasting

Sampled on 19/10/2015

Appearance:

Clear, deep golden amber.

Aroma:

Prune, boat varnish, tobacco, toasted almond, baked pear and faint clove.

Taste:

Nutty, varnished wood and green olives with herbal and fruit complexity. Dry woodiness, salt and acidity balances light honey.

Aftertaste:

Grassy, green olives and elegant wood.

Overall:

A bone dry and superbly complex amontillado with green olive and nutty flavours.
