Bodegas Tradicion Amontillado VORS 750ml

I tasted again the stunning 1/24 lot of the NV Amontillado VORS from July 2024 (handwritten on the label after the bottle number, 2302/2400 in this case). It is a wine of exceptional complexity and elegance, true to the style, combining a biological and oxidative phase of aging, which gives it the best of both worlds. It's subtle and elegant, with great balance, incredible for the old age and the concentration that has given it 21% alcohol and 9.94 grams of acidity that lift it up. It has a powerful nose of iodine, low tide and iron rust. It's nutty, volatile, saline and complex, very powerful and pungent, with a very long aftertaste. 2,400 hand-numbered bottles were filled in July 2024. Drink 2024-2040. 96 points. - Luis Gutiérrez, Wine Advocate.
