Must admit, I didn't find this bottling particularly convincing at all. It's a little too oxidative and feels a little disjoint, as if someone really did just blend some PX and dry sherry together. It certainly has the hallmarks of both; the problem is that this is just so unintegrated. Maybe a few days of air will help?

Presenta un color castaño oscuro con tonos de yodo. La nariz es asombrosa por su altísima complejidad que tiene de todo: lacas, madera noble, frutos secos como almendras o nueces, especies, piel de naranja, pasas y mucho más que lo hace difícil de describir. En la boca es donde demuestra su composición procedente del cabeceo entre un vino oloroso y un Pedro Jiménez, por eso de entrada es dulce, pero el postgusto es salino. A más de esta circunstancia la boca es firme y consistente, larga y muy profundo. Vino de meditación Una auténtica rareza de la que sólo se comercializaron 900 botellas

The color is rather difficult to describe: something akin to slightly used motor oil comes to mind. But the bouquet is otherworldly: buttered nuts, caramel, treacle, celery seed - all amazingly intense. And the palate is equally impressive: everything promised by the nose is delivered - in spades - on the palate. Add to this a mildly off-dry structure, with a solid backbone of acidity, and you have one hell of a Sherry. Wow.

Very cool. Wonderful mix of acidity, herbal, and the sweetness. It dances like no other wine I've had. Seek out.
