Equipo Navazos Bota No 124 Fino Amontillado

Produktbeskrivelse

En Fino Amontillado er en gammel og faktisk ikke helt lovlig betegnelse længere. Kort fortalt en Montilla vin lavet på Pedro Ximenez (helt tør), der har fået lov at ligge i ca. 15 år og hvor florlaget er tyndt og derfor giver plads til oxidation. En Fino der er på vej til at blive en Amontillado kan man sige og ligner stil mæssigt derfor meget de fantastiske Manzanilla Pasada fra Sanlucar.

“Similar to La Bota de Fino 85 from October 2018, the NV La Bota de Fino 124 Un Fino que va para Amontillado… is from Montilla-Moriles and produced with Pedro Ximénez grapes. This wine, from the same origin as edition 24, 45 and 85, would be called Fino Amontillado if it wasn’t forbidden. They have taken biological aging under flor to an extreme, close to 15 years, and the wine was never fortified. The grapes were close to 15% alcohol, and the alcohol level increased to 16.5% through evaporation and concentration. It has power and great finesse, a textbook Fino nose with a volatile touch that gives it complexity and lifts up the wine. It has finesse, it’s getting complex and it’s getting polished by the time in bottle. It has pungent flavors, notes of esparto, hazelnuts and varnish, and a touch of bitterness in the finish.” 96p.
