95 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
There is a new and exceptional bottle of very old Amontillado, of which I tasted the November 2016 bottling--the first "saca"--the NV Amontillado Sin Prisa 1/42 (sin prisa means "no rush"). It's sourced from the "bota punta" of a solera of 42 butts that contains wine that easily exceeds 50 years of age. It's a sharp and vertical Amontillado of Sanlúcar character: like a razor, pungent, saline and marine, with notes of low tide, saltpeter, iodine and rusty iron. This is truly exceptional and I would say a very good value. Only 440 half bottles were filled in September 2016. (LG) (12/2017)
