Winemaker's Tasting Notes
The Solera of this Palo Cortado comprises only 22 casks and it's aged in the winery that Cayetano del Pino owns in Jerez de la Frontera. Old gold in color with amber reflections. Very bright and clean. A delicate yet pungent nose, with almond-like aromas that remind of its biological aging phase. Velvety and round on the palate. Surprisingly gliceric. Its endless aftertaste has a comforting bitterness that leaves the palate clean and ready for more.

Serve at 13-14 degrees C/ 55-57degrees F/ as an aperitif with olives, nuts, cheese or lberico ham. This wine can also accompany, cold and smoked meats, fois-gras and may spicy Asian dishes. 

96 Points - Decanter
Stunning wood polish, butterscotch, fudge, apple and praline bouquet. It's super concentrated, very smooth and delicate with plenty of nutty, orange peel and grapefruit pith character. An elegant, extremely complex wine with persistent spices and dates on the protracted finish. Just the vinous ticket to pour for reflection, if not meditation.
