Oloroso Seco 18%, Gutierrez Colosia

Appearance
Deep mahogany amber, through amber to paleish green-tinged rim, legs.
Nose
Quite full, savoury hints, walnuts in syrup, touch slightly sweet toasted hazelnut, very clean with few if any wood notes and an attractive sweet nuttiness.
Palate
Tangy, dry and well rounded, quite full with traces of walnut, truffle and barrels and a long slightly savoury finish. It is quite young, from the standard range, and so not desperately complex, but has good Oloroso character.
Comments
A very good oloroso from the family firm of Gutierrez Colosia established in 1856 in El Puerto de Santa Maria. This wine is aged for over 5 years, and would accompany perfectly good bellota ham or a chick pea stew with chorizo.


Price
About £ 16.00
