A collection of four half-bottles of utterly astonishing wines, aged between 70 and 120 years (yes, that is correct and not a typo). They offer incredibly complex nuances of walnuts, caramel, charcuterie, savoury spices, leather, soy sauce, woodsmoke, seasoned oak and more. The long ageing leads to extraordinary concentration, and flavours that sustain on the palate for minutes. Yes, they are expensive, but they are to be sipped and savoured slowly like a fine whisky - and in the same way, you can keep coming back to an opened bottle. An utterly amazing experience. Start sipping now, and keep going until the bottles are all gone... Miniscule quantities of these were bottled - only about 500 half-bottles of each wine.

Press Review
" (This review relates to Palo Cortado Tú no te Olvides; part of the four-bottle collection.) From the Asencio brothers, this Palo Cortado is - as the name suggests in Spanish – an unforgettable single cask selection from what was originally Gaspar Florido’s Ansa Real solera, and is over 100 years old. A remarkable array of flavour keeps developing, with notes of roasted nuts, chocolate, iodine and more. Part of a set of four half bottles "
Press Review
" (This review relates to the very old Amontillado; part of the four-bottle collection.) Part of a four-bottle pack and not sold separately, the NV Amontillado, the top of the range presented in a square-ish/short, round, stocky bottle, comes from a very old solera from Gaspar Florido of Manzanilla origin. It is sharp and vertical with signs of very old age, powerful and concentrated but keeping elegance, poise and balance. This is truly outstanding and world class. The price is only approximate as it's not yet exported and is only sold as part of a four-bottle lot. The price would be for 375 milliliters. 500 bottles were produced. "
