Appearence: An intense, bright topaz colour, with reddish reflections and a rusty copper rim. Nose: Subtle notes of old oak stand out alongside aromas of polished furniture, damp earth mixed with walnuts, dried orange peel, maple syrup and vanilla. Notes of dried figs and coconut can also be appreciated, descriptors that are only found in older wines with oxidative ageing. Palate: Not as dry as an amontillado (it retains all the glycerine from the base wine), powerful, the astringency of the wood balanced with the slightly oily character of the wine. It is a wine with long-lasting, savoury flavours that are typically associated with classic wines from Macharnudo, in this case being very marked and persistent.
Over the decades, the Osborne family has steadily consolidated an unparalleled collection of Very Old Rare Sherries, more than wines; authentic oenological gems. Since its establishment in 1792, this exquisite wine has become a tribute to those who indulge in the pleasure of looking forward through the window of the past.
Enjoy with: dried fruits, Ib ricos (shoulder, loin), embutidos, cured cheese, pickled dishes, smoked food, fresh tuna, mushrooms, tartar/carpaccio, game meat/stewed, stewed meat (bull tail), spicy dishes, dry figues/dates.
