  A beautiful burnished and vibrant copper colour. So much going on here, grilled nuts, dried orange peel, a range of dried fruits, salinity, it’s still so fresh and vibrant and intense in the mouth and dances across your palate. The finish is really long but slightly linear. Warms the body and soul

  Final bottle from a three bottle lot purchased at auction in 2017. Saca de Octubre 2011. Decanted to separate the wine from the very fine, even hazy sediment. From 4 butts in the solera 1/10 at Bodega La Guita, and the Sanlúcar character is very much in evidence. Extremely complex nose, subtle and intense, brine and green olives (even at this age), hint of sour butter, candied fruit and leather, wood spice, coffee, orange; beautifully balanced and elegant palate, precise and deep, dry without any sense of austerity, flows effortlessly across the palate; relatively woodsy finish, toasted nuts, salty and intense, very good length but not a true peacock's tail.

  Bota "no", saca de Octubre de 2011 procedente de La Guita en Sanlúcar de Barrameda. Tal y como cuentan los amigos del grupo Navazos de esta bodega la Solera 1/10 la que contiene el vino más equilibrado y elegante dentro de la marcada vejez de este vino y de dicha solera procede este vino. La saca fue de 900 litros con los que se han llenado las aproximadamente 1700 botellas de 50cl que componen esta edición. De color caoba la nariz es impresionante, por su profundidad y su definición, en primer plano destacan los matices oxidativos, los barnices de mueble viejo, las especias exóticas, un toque de "piedra de fusil", posteriormente aparecen las nueves garrapiñadas, los toques de fruta pasa.... En boca espectacvular, con cierta untuosidad, seco peor sutilmente goloso, buena frescura, notable estructura, largo y con enorme profundidad.

  Very complex Sherry, a halfway house between Manzanilla Pasada and Palo Cortado, silky texture and lots of salty wood, olive juice and sour butter, very intense yet elegant, deep and powerful, great persistence.

  No perceptible change, just a gorgeous wine, totally intense and involving but not at all difficult.
