I'm not too sure if the NV Amontillado Viejísimo Solera Fundación is a repackaging of the NV Solera Fundación Amontillado 1729, as the wines shared a similar profile of very old Amontillado. This is their oldest, top Amontillado, an extremely old wine (viejísimo is the superlative for old, very old); none of the people who work in the winery today participated in the vinification of this wine, as they estimate it average age to be around 50 years old. The palate is very intense and powerful, with pungent, penetrating and persistent flavors, lifted, no doubt by the alcohol level, which is high by sheer concentration provided by the old age. It has varnish and hazelnuts, and a special, chalky sapidity. There is always a special rusticity I associate with dusty roads and tree bark that come to mind in these old Montillas. This is simply superb. 1,000 bottles filled at the end of December 2015, lot L5329.

Country: Spain

From the deep and intense Rioja wines, or the dry and refreshing Ruedas, from Tempranillos to Verdejos, the range and quality of Spanish wines is always going to impress and fascinate. With several thousand years of traditions and expertise leading the way, Spanish wineries are currently producing some of the most flavorful and interesting wines to come out of Europe, striving to overcome the reputation problems the country suffered in the mid to late twentieth century. Despite being one of the largest producers of wine in the world, with billions of bottles being filled each year, Spanish wine producers are more interested in quality over quantity than ever before. The results of this are some truly world class wines rivaling even the finest produce of France in regards to balance, character and flavor, gaining new fans and enthusiasts every day.
