N.V. Equipo Navazos La Bota No.108 Oloroso

Saca de Octubre de 2021. A beast of an Oloroso … It is a powerful, super-concentrated and venerable wine, in the same category as the most noble and oldest sacred relics. Only 1,300 bottles have been made. It is very ancient, surely 80-90 years old; one of those very dry and concentrated wines, with lifted acidity, a touch of bitterness and power, with strong iodine, seaweed character. We have had the opportunity to enjoy it and see how well it marries with cured Manchego cheese for example, white sausage from Chiclana and morcilla from Conil, with many small sips and taking time to enjoy the aromas. -Jesús Barquín, professor of criminology and founder of Equipo Navazos Wood resin, varnish, caramel, vanilla, cream, dark chocolate, old fireplaces, warm stone... the aromas are endless, and impossibly complex. The palate carries the same flavours, with a hint of dried fig and preserved lemon, very (almost painfully) dry and extremely long. Meaty, charred, evocative, magical. (JH 07/05/22)
