Appearence: Intense red with mahogany highlights. Nose: An extraordinary mixture of notes of varnish, antique furniture, toasted oak and nuts, with hints of raisins, cocoa, caramel and chocolate. Touches of fine Arabic patisserie (baklava, etc). Palate: Very elegant, velvety, slightly sweet and well-balanced with firm astringency due to prolonged contact with oak, as well as considerable acidity. It also has a very elegant and extremely persistent finish. Notes of dried orange and prune appear on the aftertaste.
The Osborne family takes great pride in the wines of this RARE Collection, every drop embodies their heritage and tradition. More than wines; authentic oenological gems. The original “ABC” solera was established in 1864, one of the oldest in Bodegas Osborne, and consisted of 200 butts. The entire solera “A” was sent to the Imperial Court in Saint Petesburg in 1888 for the family of Czar Alexander III of Russia, remaining only soleras “B” y “C” in hands of the winery, therefore the origin of the name. The number 200 refers to the original number of butts that made up the solera.
