Valdespino SOLERA 1842 VOS 20 years oloroso Sherry

21%abv, 500ml, Spain.

90% Palomino, 10% Pedro Ximénez

Tasting notes: 

toasted notes up front, as well as bags of dried fruits (figs, dates, raisins) and burnt sugar. Freshly baked vanilla cake. Hazelnut syrup and toffee. It shows a slightly ethereal side of polished oak and cinnamon. Cocoa dust.

Mouth: starts on sweet raisins, chocolate coated nuts, with fig bread, dates and a bittersweet side because of the old oak shining through. Turkish coffee. Burnt sugar. Walnuts. Traces of tangy acidity (think lemon zest) that’s perfect alongside he sweetness. Long finish, on dark chocolate and roasted coffee beans.
