also some bitter notes

wild thyme and brambly raspberry that fold over onto the palate

while this spreads out comfortably on a lasting finish

It's a fine example of an old-vine wine

mineral with great balance

NV | Bodegas Hidalgo Amontillado Viejo Pastrana | Andalucia 500ml Finca Los Aljibes also some bitter notesLight mahogany colour, quite bright and clear. The nose combines iron rust with pungent, marine, sea breeze aromas. The palate is pure salt and iodine, a piece of sea in a bottle that is a little extreme and sharp, pungent and penetrating. It's a wine that started it's life as a Manzanilla, so it was a sharp wine to start with and was sharpened further by its aging in a winery some 400 meters from the sea. An extreme Amontillado that dries your mouth.
