EQUIPO NAVAZOS #56 Pedro Ximenez Viejisimo Bota 15%

Tasting note

• Appearance : vibrant orangey copper
• Nose : rich, opulent. The initial nose is marked by dried fruit (fig, date, walnut) and very fresh notes of balsamic vinegar. Develops into black fruits (blackberry, blueberry) and sweet spices (cinnamon, ginger). Once aerated, its autumnal character (dead leaves, wilted roses) adds a poetic dimension.
• Palate : warm, heady. The attack on the palate has a very fine grain to it. With candied notes of exotic fruits (mango, persimmon) and fine spicy (cardamom, cumin) notes of heady florals (lily, iris), the mid-palate becomes increasingly concentrated. Flavours of gingerbread and toasted walnuts feed an indulgent end of the palate.
• Overall : long, silky. Endowed with a chocolatey bitterness and underpinned by an invigorating acidity. A few grains of salt gradually cover currants, greengage plums and candied citrus fruit (orange). Lingers with roasted notes (coffee, tobacco). The retro-nasal olfaction highlights the quality of its wood and the freshness of the aromatic and gustatory palette. The empty glass allows dried fruit (fig, cashew nut) and spices (star anise, cinnamon) to take the upper hand.
