Amontillado del Puerto 1/10 G. Obregón 0,5 l - Emilio Lustau

With the Emilio Lustau Amontillado del Puerto 1/10 G. Obregón comes a first-class sherry in the wine glass. Here it offers a wonderfully dense, golden yellow color. Swiveling the glass, this sherry reveals a high viscosity, which is evident in clear church windows at the edge of the glass. In the glass, this Emilio Lustau sherry reveals aromas of fruit bread, raisins, dried fruit and prunes, complemented by cinnamon, black tea and vanilla. This wine delights with its elegantly dry flavor. It was bottled with only 6 grams of residual sugar. As expected from a wine of this reputation, this Spaniard naturally enchants with the finest balance despite all dryness. Excellent taste does not necessarily need residual sugar. On the palate, the texture of this powerful sherry is wonderfully crisp. Due to its present fruit acid, the Amontillado del Puerto 1/10 G. Obregón is exceptionally fresh and lively on the palate. The finale of this ripening sherry from the wine-growing region of Andalusia, more precisely from Jerez DO, finally impresses with considerable reverberation. The finish is also accompanied by mineral hints of the limestone-dominated soils.
