Parker über: Sherry La Bota 78 de Oloroso Viejisimo BOTA NO

-- Parker: Another very old wine from Navazos, the NV La Bota de Oloroso 78 “Bota NO” has the same origin as the Bota 14, also a Bota NO, but bottled ten years later with an estimated average age of around 70 years, from a solera belonging to Valdespino known as Añada 1809 that has not been bottled or sold for a very long time. The first 40 years it worked as a solera, but after that the barrels were not refreshed, and this is a single cask bottling. This is a beast of a wine, super concentrated and old, with all the signs of it, but still keeping its poise and a certain elegance within the powerful and concentrated style. The challenge for very old Oloroso is to keep the balance and this one manages it very well. This Oloroso is all about finesse. It's a wine that has been untouched for decades. 1,100 half bottles produced. 98/100
