LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

“

Proof that sweet sherry can be serious. It has the complexity of a great aged spirit with the drinkability of a fine wine.

The Library Note

In the 17th century, ship captains discovered that casks of sherry carried as ballast to the East Indies improved dramatically in the heat and motion of the ship. Lustau recreates this by aging a blend of Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez in a special solera located in the warmest part of the bodega.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Rich and inviting. Raisins, mocha, and candied orange peel.

THE PALATE

Velvety sweetness balanced by acidity. Toffee, dark chocolate, and roasted nuts.

THE FINISH

Complex and lingering.

Sensory Profile

THE PERFECT SERVE

Slightly chilled or on the rocks with an orange peel. It is a stunning dessert wine.
