Osborne Rare Oloroso Solera India 1922 NV

This Oloroso is part of the personal stores of the Osborne family. Until very recently, it was not commercially available. It has an average of 25 years of age at bottling from two criaderas set in 1922. Only 30 botas remain in these criaderas. Miniscule amounts are bottled, and fewer every year because of the shrinking solera that feeds it. 

80% Palomino, 20% Pedro Ximenez. Vines tended in albariza soil at 70 m (230 ft) elevation from the Balbaina pago. This wine comes from two criaderas. Only 300 bottles are filled each year. The solera was started in 1922. RS = 70 g/L

IMPORTER TASTING NOTES: 
Dark mahogany in color. On the nose, dried fig, soy, black pepper, dried apple and orange, bay leaf and star anise. On the palate, round and rich, with a scintillating blend of savory and sweet flavors. Wood spices, molasses, fig, maple and honey carry through to a rich, spicy finish laden with candied fruit.
