  Se presenta de un bonito color ámbar vivo y brillante.
  Aroma inmenso, madera vieja, barniz, laca, parece que acetona, va evolucionando a frutos secos, y veladuras de pieles cítricas. Complejísimo.
  
  Boca rica y pletórica, muy locuaz, cuerpo muy recio, intenso, que no deja espacios vacíos, acidez tremenda e increíblemente largo.
  
  Una gozada.

  I served this in my wine course. Truly outstanding! Nose is more elegant than the 46 Oloroso, with both the low pitched nutty elements along with the higher pitched fruity elements. Baked apple, walnut in the nose. Medium weight in the mid palate, long refreshing finish. Wow, as I go back to the 46, the 28 clearly dominates it in terms of the level of elegance. The 46 seems hot and short in the finish by comparison, even though in absolute terms it was perfectly balanced and extremely long.

  It is a fine oloroso - more balanced than some Navazos offerings and full of caramel and woody spices, but a little lacking in power and persistence.

  Birthday Dinner (2) 2014 (Jade Palace, Forum Galleria, Singapore): A killer wine. Wow. This had an incredible nose, just layer after layer of salted nuts and fig skin and fried shallots, apple rind and dried lemons, milk chocolate and mahogany wood, with just a drift of spice, a little hint of penicillin and the tiniest kiss of mineral, all packed into a wonderful kaleidoscope of a bouquet – wonderful, wonderful stuff. I could lose myself in a nose like that. The palate was absolutely incredible too, just wow. It had profound depth, with a creamily textured flow of dried figs and molasses, savoury notes of preserved fruit peel and dried oysters, and then a lift of kumquats and puffs of saline seabreeze, all wrapped in wonderfully fresh acidity that kept the wine lithe and graceful, dancing across the palate into a wonderful finish. Here, it seemed almost neverending, coating the backpalate with creamy layers of dried figs and dark Valrhona chocolate, mahogany and warm spice, even a savoury soupcon of duck consomme with time - on and on and on it went, covering every last crevice of the mouth. This could well be the longest finish of any wine I have ever had. A great, great wine, probably the best amongst the many great bottles of La Bota I have had. To cap if off, this was an awesome pairing with suckling pig. I tried to savour it for a longer time in the glass, but it was so delicious that, sip by sip, this just disappeared down the gullet much faster than I would have liked.
