“…is produced with Palomino grapes, balanced with 2% of Pedro Ximenez, something quite common to polish the edges of very old wines, in a solera created in 1792. It has a dark mahogany color, and the nose shows some toffee notes intermixed with roasted coffee, tar, ash and incense. The palate shows good depth, strong acidity, well compensated by the sweetness, and a slightly bitter finish. It stands apart from other Olorosos, with a unique range of aromas and flavors.”
94/100 The Wine Advocate
The house of Osborne has been the best kept secret amongst Sherry lovers for many years, as their basic level wines afford considerable substance and quality at quite the affordable price. It was only a matter of time before they found a VORS ( Vinum Optimum Rare Signatum) worthy of bottling under their name, and they found this opportunity in 2008. That’s when Bodegas Osborne purchased the four very old soleras made by the once-venerated, but now defunct, Bodegas Pedro Domecq.
These wines challenge and inspire the intellect, as well as the notion of complexity as we know it. Parts of the Capuchino Palo Cortado and the Siberita Oloroso date back to 1792, which make these wines a veritable part of the liquid history of Europe. Unfortunately, these are both rare and scarce.
Price shown is for a 75cl bottle in branded box as shown. Pristine condition and immaculate provenance. Cellared in Europe since release. Inspected by Bid for Wine.
