Vintage Solera Ageing
Making Techniques Never before comercially available except for a select few sacas for British customers. This solera has in turn a bota NO as well as a double NO- of notably higher age and character, and which is where this wine has been sourced, again in limited volumes. Results from a blending process wth top-quality pedro ximenez that was performed early on, when the solera was founded likely over a century ago. Harmonious integration during these decades has made the wine finer and rounder, thanks to the patience of several generations of winemakers, reaching today a prodigious balance between the raciness of dry oloroso and the mellowness of sweet PX.

Neil Martin (Robert Parker's Wine Advocate) 96 Points The Lot 38 La Bota de Viejo Cream Bota No is sequel to the sweet oloroso that was Lot 19. It originates from the blending of a Pedro Ximenex over a century ago when the solera was started. It has a fairly light bouquet that opens with aeraion: hazelnut, macadmias, subtle note of caramel and nougat. The palate is medium bodied with a lovely viscous opening: a touch of spice, eau-de-vie, caramel and cafe latte underpinned by beautifully judged acidityand a sensual harmonious long finish. Superb.'
