Lustau - Solera Familiar Amontillado Los Arcos
This is a great introduction wine to the Amontillado Style. The wine has a dry, nutty taste with additional toffee, coffee and orange peel note.
Lustau Description
This wine, partially aged under a veil of yeast like the Finos (the biological process) completes its ageing without the yeast (oxidative process).
Amber in color with a nutty aroma on the nose. Light, soft and round on the palate, with a long aftertaste.
Wine Advocate: 93 Points
The non-vintage Dry Amontillado Los Arcos Solera Reserva reveals a medium amber hue along with a nutty, honeyed, dry personality with great acid.
Wine Spectator: 91 Points
Walnut, date, cinnamon and dried blood orange notes are backed by a long finish that lets a singed balsa wood hint hang on. This has an echo of sweetness but remains rather dry in feel. Drink now.
