Lustau Almacenistas Palo Cortado de Jerez, "Cayetano del Pino" 1/22

The Solera of this Palo Cortado comprises only 22 casks and it’s aged in the winery that Cayetano del Pino owns in Jerez de la Frontera. Old gold in color with amber reflections. Very bright and clean. A delicate yet pungent nose, with almond-like aromas that remind of its biological aging phase. Velvety and round on the palate. Surprisingly gliceric. Its endless aftertaste has a comforting bitterness that leaves the palate clean and ready for more. Serve at 13 – 14ºC /55 – 57ºF/ as an apéritif with olives, nuts, cheese or Ibérico ham. This wine can also accompany consommés, cold and smoked meats, foie-gras and many spicy Asian dishes.

Lustau Almacenistas Palo Cortado de Jerez, "Cayetano del Pino" 1/22 NV	93 Wine Advocate Quite similar to the wine bottled by the Almacenista himself, the NV Palo Cortado de Jerez Almacenista Cayetano del Pino was selected from 22 botas aged in Jerez, which must have at some point held wine aged under flor, as it’s sharp and pungent while it also has some creaminess and it’s very long, lifted by a spirity finish. The wine is around 20 years of age and is a textbook example of what a Palo Cortado should be. 94 Decanter The elegant aromas promise caramel and roasted nuts; the equally elegant palate delivers caramelised oranges, and crème brulée. Silky, with a hint of sweetness. A rapier wrapped in velvet.	Bottle Image Label Image Tech Sheet
