Score 94/100 · Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, Aug 2013

The Lot 38 La Bota de Viejo Cream Bota No is the sequel to the sweet oloroso that was Lot 19. It originates from the blending of a Pedro Ximenez over a century ago when the Solera was started. It has a fairly light bouquet that opens with aeration: hazelnut, macadamias, subtle note of caramel and nougat. The palate is medium-bodied with a lovely viscous opening: a touch of spice, eau-de-vie, caramel and cafe latte underpinned by beautifully judged acidity and a sensual harmonious long finish. Superb.

37.5cl. Mid blackish tawny with yellow rim. Treacle tang on the nose, then mellow sweetness – and treacle finish. Nice package if a bit gunpowder-like with the alcohol evident. Rancio almost uncomfortably marked. (JR)
