Appearence: Bright mahogany color. Nose: Very complex, more like an amontillado than an oloroso on the nose, delicate, with pungent notes alongside almonds, biscuits and hints of smoked black tea. Palate: Upon entry in the mouth, it appears to have the body and texture of an oloroso. Dry, astringent, although not excessively so, it shows mineral notes of limestone and chalk, the dairy notes typical of a palo cortado, as well as nuts, spicy hints of oak. A very long and persistent finish.
Over the decades, the Osborne family has steadily consolidated an unparalleled collection of Very Old Rare Sherries, more than wines; authentic oenological gems. Founded in 1790, this solera commemorates the arrival of the Capuchin Order in Jerez. Over two centuries later, this Palo Cortado embodies the heritage of a whole region. This wine was biologically aged under for yeast for 8-14 years, became an amontillado, and was later designated as Palo Cortado by Capuchino monks. The entire collectionof butts is divided into 5 criaderas.
Enjoy with: dried fruits, Ib ricos (ham, shoulder, loin), embutidos, pickled dishes, fresh tuna, mushrooms, game meat/stewed, stewed meat (bull tail), spicy dishes.
