Attractive Mahogany colour, delicate on the nose, with intense dried fruits, hazelnuts and walnuts. Notes of spices, vanilla and more dried fruit on the palate. Full bodied and with a long sophisticated finish. The Palo Cortado is made up of selected, very young Criaderas of both Inocente and Tio Diego, which have failed to sustain their layer of `flor`, The wine is then fortified further to 17%, and allowed to continue ageing oxidatively. It has an average age of over 25 years old when it is bottled.
