Jerez de la Frontera Ximénez-Spînola Muy Viejo Solera 1918
It was in 1918 when this Solera was born. Four generations of the same family have worked to keep track of the aging of each drop of this wine. More than a product in itself, it is a desire for continuity. A trade inherited from parents to children.
Tasting notes
VISUAL: In the visual phase it shows an intense but very clean mahogany color, as a consequence of the stability achieved in wood. Subtle iodized reflections, very bright and typical of 15 years of oxidative aging. By slowly moving the glass, the tear reveals the intense degree of fructose and its natural glyceric point. You can see that it is a fermented wine because it lacks the usual density of other Pedro Ximénez.
OLFATIVE: On the nose the intensity of the raisin is sweeping and resounding, clearly dominating over the rest of aromas. Notes of roasted coffee and dark chocolate very typical of prolonged aging, it also has a point of volatility typical of its old age that should not be confused with the volatility of alcohol. There is no real alcoholic perception, that subtlety and the aromas of the raisin give it an elegant but intense touch.
TASTE: Its exceptional smoothness in the mouth and the subtlety of its natural alcoholic content, they give it great finesse. The raisin grape continues to clearly dominate, with a hint of dried figs. All that concentration is perfectly assembled with the roasted wood, leaving in its long and endless aftertaste a very pleasant, long-lasting and difficult to forget experience.
