This dry Oloroso has a swoon-worthy nose of warm maple frosting and pecan pie. It's fresh on the palate, balancing weight and restraint with aplomb. Salty, briny, nutty flavors of green olive turn toastier and darker on its almond-inflected finish. This is top-notch dry Sherry to enjoy now and forever. Drink through 2060. ... More details

Despite the sweet and delicate face of the Emperatriz on the label, this is one of the richest and most concentrated Sherries in the Lustau portfolio. Aromas of caramelized plum and nuts dominate, a chalkier scent in the background. Generous and round, it feels almost oily and thick, the chalky element giving tension, cutting the sweetness and adding an intriguing complexity. Great Oloroso.

The NV Emperatriz Eugenia Very Rare Oloroso is produced from Palomino from a solera created in 1921 to celebrate the visit of French Empress Eugenia de Montijo. It reveals an old wine, brown-colored, with a nose of noble woods, hazelnuts and varnish, a medium- to full-bodied palate, round, glycerin-rich and ample, ending dry and a bit warm. Drink 2013-2016.

This offers a smoky edge, with singed sandalwood and forest floor hints melded with notes of bitter chocolate, powdered ginger, buckwheat and toffee. The long finish shows lovely cut and persistence. Drink now. 100 cases imported.
Winery
The Emperatriz Eugenia Oloroso features concentrated flavors and aromas of smoky wood, fruit, prunes, and bitter chocolate. This fine, rare wine is smooth and warming, leaving a clean, light, and crisp finish. It is ideally served at cool room temperature as an aperitif and is perfect with strong flavored cheeses, jamon, prosciutto or as a digetif, with nuts, after a meal.

Country: Spain

Spanish wines are renowned world-wide for carrying all the passion and character of the Spanish culture within them. Any lover of Spanish wine would undoubtedly be able to confirm this notion, as the variety and range of flavors and aromas coming from the high end of Spanish produce is truly impressive, and continues to delight and fascinate both newcomers and the more experienced. Spain benefits massively from an ideal climate for wine production and vine cultivation, with its long, scorching hot summers and far reaching oceanic breezes working perfectly with the native and imported grape varietals, which thrive on the mineral rich soils that cover much of the country. With centuries of knowledge, and generations of expertise under their belts, Spanish wineries continue to focus on raising the quality of their nation's wines, helped along the way by relatively new laws and regulations regarding regional excellence and representativeness.
