  This incredibly old, dry Amontillado comes from the original solera acquired in 1822 by D. León de Argüeso y Argüeso upon founding the legendary firm that bears his name. Minuscule quantities are bottled each year from the three remaining casks. It expresses the maritime essence of Sanlúcar de Barrameda's Barrio Bajo district.
  100% Palomino
  Intensely aromatic on the nose with aromas that show sea brine, salt crust, walnut and hazelnuts, dried autumn leaves new leather, and yeast with hints of fruit cake, dried orange zest and maple.
  The palate is bone dry with sharp acidity. Flavors of toasted hazelnuts and almond mingle with notes of saline and brine, fruitcake, dried orange zest, leather, cigar tobacco, dried leaves and streaks of maple. Long through the selenic finish.

  Color ámbar. Nariz seductora, muy fina, claros matices de crianza biológica apoyados en notas mas delicadas de crianza oxidativa, duelas envinadas, suaves recuerdos ahumados, sensaciones salinas. En boca tiene buen ataque, seco, afilado, reaparece la salinidad, fresco, con peso y notable presencia. Una delicia con gran profundidad.

  93 Francamente bueno. Color ambarino, caramelo claro. Nariz de caramelo, fruta escarchada, frutos secos. En boca tiene una acidez importante, no está marcado por el alcohol, es limpio, fresco. Muy agradable. Un amontillado muy fino.
