Tasting Notes
Bright amber color with golden hints. This complex Amontillado shows intense smoky woods, and nutty aromas, resulting from years of ageing in the bodegas of Jerez. Dry and elegant on the palate, with a long spicy aftertaste.

"Lustau,s premium Amontillado is a photo album of the past, with sepia photographs of fruitsand nuts long gone and ancient oak. With its deep Marmite-like umami, it shows no primaryjuiciness, leaving the field to salty, savoury impressions. Plenty of personality."
