Lustau East India Solera 75cl

Palomino Fino, Pedro Ximénez.

Lustau East India Solera is een sherry uit Jerez

The Wine Advocate:
" The NV East India Solera is a Cream, a category I have not really covered in this article, which is a blend of 12-year-old Don Nuno Oloroso (80%) and San Emilio PX which is also about 12 years old, blended and aged together for a further three years in a special, slightly warmer part of the winery which replicates perhaps the character of the wines that traveled by boat to India or elsewhere. Mahogany colored with a green-amber edge, it has the nose of an old wine with notes of antique shop, wax, shoe polish, noble wood, and a touch of spices, dates and prunes, all of it very well integrated. The palate is spicy and sweet (it has 130 grams of sugar) again very integrated. At this price level it represents good value and should go well with cheeses. Drink 2013-2020."

Description
" In centuries gone by, casks of sherry were lashed to ships sailing for the Indies as ballast, and were found to develop an extraordinary smoothness and complexity. Lustau has revived this style of sherry in the East India wine. Unforgettable flavours of raisins, candied peel and nuts. Robert Parkers comment: Nutty, sweet, crème brûlée smell. Awarded Silver Medal at IWC 2004.
Perfect companion to light desserts and cakes, but can also be served with cheeses, or simply as a sweet digestif.
Serve at cool room temperature."
