NV | Bodegas Hidalgo Amontillado Viejo Pastrana | Andalucia 500ml Finca Los Aljibes a classic bouquet of sweetLight mahogany colour, quite bright and clear. The nose combines iron rust with pungent, marine, sea breeze aromas. The palate is pure salt and iodine, a piece of sea in a bottle that is a little extreme and sharp, pungent and penetrating. It's a wine that started it's life as a Manzanilla, so it was a sharp wine to start with and was sharpened further by its aging in a winery some 400 meters from the sea. An extreme Amontillado that dries your mouth.
