Tasting notes
Taking it to an even higher level is the non-vintage (Vinos Viejos) Oloroso Extra Viejo with its smoked nuts and butterscotch personality. This can be enjoyed in the same manner as a vintage Darroze Armagnac or great cognac because it is still essentially dry and just loaded with character. Feb 2007, www.robertparker.com

<strong>Summary</strong>: I think this Oloroso 1|7 is one of the treasures of the sherry region when it comes to Oloroso wines. It is a true aristocrat, impressive and elegant at the same time. One of the best Olorosos I can think of.<br><br><strong>Nose</strong>: a very intense, but balanced mix of roasted nuts, dried fruits and polished woods. Roasted almonds and hazelnuts, with nice hints of Gianduja. Dried apricots and figs. A little butterscotch. There are interesting traces of sea breeze and mineral notes, moving towards turpentine and varnished oak. Subtle pepper and nutmeg add to the impressive structure and wide character of this wine.<br><br><strong>Mouth</strong>: powerful and elegant at the same time. Lots of spices at first, mainly cinnamon and hints of curry and pepper. Some very enjoyable touches of vanilla as well. Moves towards tobacco leaves and moist wood. Hints of walnuts. Herbal, slightly bitter notes. Candied lemon peel and a soft salty touch. Dark chocolate and coffee beans. Terrific length really.<br><br><strong>Availability</strong>: extremely limited, only about 100 bottles a year. Very hard to get. Jun 2015, www.sherrynotes.com
