Lustau Amontillado VORS 30 Year NV

V.O.R.S TRUE OLD GEMS. Lustau Amontillado VORS (Very Old Rare Sherry) has its origins in the searching and selecting process that Manuel Lozano, former Cellar Master of Lustau, made among the oldest solera casks of this wine. This amontillado comes from a selection of 8 casks.

Dark amber in color with aromas reminiscent of butterscotch, noble wood, old leather and furniture polish. Concentrated nose of dried dark fruits, and candied peel. Savory, almost saline, dry, fresh and invigorating on the palate. Warming and concentrated flavors with a balanced elegant length. Very pleasing mouthfeel, typical of the concentration found in the amontillados of such long aging. This wine has been bottled without any kind of treatment, having been drawn straight from the barrel. It may show some cloudiness or sediment, which is quite natural, and in no way detrimental to your enjoyment of this outstanding wine. Serve at 13 – 14ºC in a proper glass. We suggest enjoying it slowly, appreciating the wine aromas and sensations.

Lustau Amontillado VORS 30 Year NV NV	99 James Suckling Sublime! Extremely tangy, nimble Amontillado that shows a bright and deep amber color. Superb complexity and depth with a “painful” amount of sea salt-caramel, seaweed, salted almond, butter, sourdough, turmeric and dried lemons and oranges. Incredibly intense with superb concentration. So salty, bone-dry, svelte and silky. Superb length and intensity in the finish that goes on and on. Endless. Can Amontillado get any better than this? 20.5% alcohol. Sip now. 97 Wine Advocate The NV Amontillado VORS is a huge step up in quality and complexity from the rest of Amontillados. Bright brown color, extremely saline in the palate, sharp as a knife. One has to wonder if in the past the origin of this wine could have been Manzanilla rather than Fino. It is clean with a complex nose of curry, old wood, wax, antique shop and shoe polish as well as an extremely concentrated palate. Drink 2013-2021. Silver Medal Decanter World Wine Awards Extremely refined expression of Amontillado, touches of curry, nuts, sandalwood and praline. Dense on the palate, with a very persistent finish.
