DESCRIPTION
The family made a fortune with the Ponche Caballero (a mix of brandy, oranges, herbs and sugar). They owned several vineyards (Las Cruces among others) and bought several bodegas throughout the years (de la Cuesta, Burdon, Pavón). In 1990 they bought Emilio Lustao so in a way this is an ‘almacenista’ bottling from their own wines.
Ovely nose, very wide and aromatic, with lots of orange peel, hints of dried apricots and beautiful touches of polished furniture (exotic wood, I love that). Hazelnuts and almonds. The caleidoscopic mix of saline coastal notes, oxidative notes and a certain fruity acidity makes this a very inviting nose. It is dry, yet with a slightly glyceric touch of roundness. Just a hint of dried apricot again, salty caramel and plenty of nuts (walnut, pecan). There’s a bracing salty note, above average acidity and a warming glow of peppery notes. Some tannins towards the end, but the implicit sweetness balances this nicely.
