Alvear Carlos VII Amontillado Sherry 500ml

Amontillado means “made in the style of Montilla” and in its purest version such as is the case with this wine, has developed through 15 years ageing in oak barrel soleras. It's exposure to ageing both with and without natural yeast "Flor" presence, lends it colour, complexity and rich full palate while retaining the freshness of its origins as a Fino.

A harmonious blend of finesse, elegance and age. Pungent well developed nose, with an inimitable character of nuts and dried figs. Deep flavour and smoky character both soft and strong. Silky dry on the palate with a very long finish true to its complex structure.

ABV: 19%

Value

Rates with good Zinfandel

Good Value Barbera

This is very good value for money. A Piedmont red under $30! It has good dark fruit, some nice tannins and acid to balance although it would benefit from some more age to smooth it a bit but I liked its feistiness now.

Just right

Drinking really nicely at 5 years and a fair price

Cotes du Rhone.

A lovely well balanced red. One of the best Cotes du Rhone I have tasted.

Real value for money

I was happily surprised by the quality of the labels in the "mystery" case of rose wines - great value for the money I must say. Excellent drinking experience from the unfamiliar labels and happy to enjoy again the familiar ones.
