  1. Williams Paola Medina Amontillado de Anada 2001 500ml
    Williams Paola Medina Amontillado de Anada 2001 500ml
    ABV 20%. Only 750 litres bottled. After delicate fermentation (17-22 degrees), the original Fino was aged biologically at 15.5% and later re-fortified to 18%. Later amontillados (after 2003) have not been re-fortified at all. This, Paola's first Amontillado, was aged biologically for 10 years, by which time it had naturally evolved into a developed Fino without flor, and was classified Amontillado, re-fortified and aged oxidatively.

    Supremely elegant, mineral and vibrant with great complexity. Brilliant amber in colour, very complex aromas, dry in the mouth, mineral, rounded and persistent. TSA

  2. Williams Paola Medina Oloroso de Anada 2001 500ml
    Williams Paola Medina Oloroso de Anada 2001 500ml
    Super deep and complex, rich and saline, with a pure developed perfume. Mapled acorn-rich, lightly glyceric, deeply spiced, strong at the rim, releasing to an ethereal boof from a structural base. Fine glazed toffee nut, orange blossom, sunflower and pumpkin seeds, dried chestnut honey, toasted hazelnuts, delicate tangerine caramel, brandied citrus, sandalwood. The acidity itself is incredibly complex, carrying brine and rind, fine old wheat and praline in a gloriously patinated, running mouthfeel. TSA

  3. Albero 4/34 bota seleccionada Manzanilla en rama (saca de deciembre 2022) 500mL
    Albero 4/34 bota seleccionada Manzanilla en rama (saca de deciembre 2022) 500mL

    Albero is the passion-project of local Spanish importer, Scott Wasley in conjunction with famed Manzanilla Bodega, Delgado Zuleta, and more specifically, a separate 275 year old solera called Barbiana solera - purchased in 1978 and kept separately ever since. Essentially, each year Wasley is given access to the solera to put together his own blend from this amazing vinous resource. In the first year, the blend was a mix of 5 of the 34 bota. That wine was a revelation, the en rama or non filtered Manzanilla is, in and of itself, such a departure from the water-clear, racy salty sherry we've become accustomed.

    The en rama element means the wine is brassy golden in colour signalling a rich and earthy vibe running from aromatic through to the textured palate. The 2022 version is another beauty but it's different to previous years. Richer, more masculine and boasting a deep seated resonating set of flavours. There's a beautiful aromatic of orange and lemon rind, whiskey esthers and retaining an unmistakable spary of the ocean sewn into every mouthfull. Like hot sun drying salt and sand on your skin in the height of summer. MICHAEL MCNAMARA, PWS
