Alvear Amontillado Viejísimo Solera Fundación 375ml Half Bottle
97 Points! A true gem is the NV Amontillado Solera Fundación , a solera blend that spent 50 years or more in American oak casks, with some of the blend going back to the original blend started in 1729. It’s a tiny production release but offers extraordinary notes of caramel, toasted nuts, iodine, and blue cheese-like characteristics. Deep, full-bodied, thick and opulent on the palate, it stays balanced and light, and is a sensational, truly special Amontillado fitting for a special occasion. - Jeb Dunnuck
95 Points! I tasted the new 2019 bottling of the exceptional NV Amontillado Viejísimo Solera Fundación, their oldest Amontillado they now reckon could be up to an average age of 80 years (!?). It has the intensity and concentration of evaporation through age, and it has 20% alcohol with nine grams of acidity (tartaric). It has a brown color with some faint green around the edge and a more oxidative nose with some lovely rusticity in this bottling. Only 276 half-bottles were filled in 2019. - Luis Gutierrez, robertparker.com
