Production notes
This extremely old wine proceeds from the winery’s foundational Solera, when José María Toro Albalá began to produce wines in Lagar del Carmen, in 1922. The wine is obtained in a subtle and slow way; it’s the time that induces its transformation. After an ageing of 10 years under a veil of flor in American oak butts, the veil begins to weaken and lose its protection, allowing the start of a long oxidative ageing. A unique wine acknowledged with 92 Robert Parker points. Alcohol is obtained in a natural way.
Tasting notes
Amber and, when shaken, it tints the glass with a beautiful range of copper tones. Aromas: Very intense, spicy and noble woods in still glass, leading to a glaze touch and fine pastry notes. A saline and fresh background aroma accompanies memories of raisined fruits. Taste: Dry and sharp entry, saline and mineral. Elegant and enlengthened bitter finish with noble wood aromatic hints. High persistency of aromas and tastes.
