Tasting Notes
This wine presents a delightful experience. Its profile is rich and varied, with baked apple and honey providing a sweet foundation, complemented by the unique addition of rhubarb. The savoury notes of sardines and tomato paste add an unusual but intriguing complexity, which is further enhanced by the freshness of red berries and the depth of Jerez's notes. The traditional dried fruit flavours of uzvar and a touch of caramel round out the bouquet.
The wine's acidity remains impressively vibrant despite its age, contributing to a well-structured palate. While it may be slightly past its prime, this does not detract significantly from its overall quality. The wine still manages to be wonderful, offering a complex and enjoyable experience.
