Rich black walnuts, pecans, tangy sourdough bread, orange peel and touches of brine, soy, roasted sweet potatoes and seaweed. Almost spicy. Full-bodied and creamy on the palate, with exceptional depth and complexity before a saline, walnutty but refined finish that doesn’t want to quit. If you need a reference for the word “complexity,” this one will do. Drink now. [August 2024]

It has a very sweet, sugary aroma, showing a touch of honey, chocolate, sultana and caramel. Concentrated but with a great integration of flavour, superb balance and really mellow. Voluminous and sweet on the palate. It is a serious and meritorious wine, so harmonious that it will delight everyone. Del Duque is always one of the smoothest amontillado wines. Dried peach, very mellow finish. Drinking Window: 2024-2050. [April 2024]
