Robert Parker
Appearence: Similar to Venerable but even denser, with more rusty, copper-coloured highlights in its legs due to its extraordinary age. Nose: Very intense and complex. Notes of raisins, bitter chocolate, roasted coffee, orange peel, caramel, honey, plum jam and liquorice. Palate: One of the sweetest wines in the world, with, however, sustained acidity. Very unctuous. We should also point out the “touch of salt” that appears on the aftertaste, which, together with the background of raisins and bitter chocolate offers a slightly citric finish wrapped in the subtle presence of oak.
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. Drawn from a single-butt solera established in 1905. Over 100 years on, a thick caramel layer covers the oak that safeguards this sweet treasure.
Enjoy with: cured cheese, blue cheese, ice cream desserts, red berries, desserts, dark/salty chocolate.
