TASTING NOTES

Appearence: A bright, very deep shade of mahogany. Legs highlighted with greenish rusty copper reflections.
Nose: Very complex. Notes of raisins, very sweet patisserie, roasted coffee, toasted caramel, cocoa, chocolate and liquorice.
Palate: Very sweet, velvety with a background of oak and crème brulée, leaving an extraordinary, slightly bitter sensation. A very persistent finish. Very full-bodied.

STORYTELLING

Over the decades, the Osborne family has steadily consolidated an unparalleled collection of Very Old Rare Sherries, more than wines; authentic oenological gems. The year 1902 marked the foundation of this solera, which has created a wine worthy of veneration not only for its great age, but also for its luscious complexity. The grapes were sun-dried overmats until raisined before being pressed in order to realease small amounts of ultra-sweet juice from them. Aged in the traditional criaderas and soleras system for several generations.
