Notes | |||
"This wine, partially aged under a veil of yeast like the Finos (the biological process) completes its ageing without the yeast (oxidative process). Amber in colour with a nutty aroma on the nose. Light, soft and round on the palate, with a long aftertaste." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"The non-vintage Dry Amontillado Los Arcos Solera Reserva reveals a medium amber hue along with a nutty, honeyed, dry personality with great acid." —Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate "A more flattering style, with an off-dry edge to the walnut paste, hazelnut, date and clove-studded orange notes, which show nice focus and zip on the finish. Drink now. 2,000 cases imported." —James Molesworth, Wine Spectator "Lustau calls it dry but Los Arcos definitely has some aromatic and palate sweetness. The nose settles on brown sugar, peach, mixed nuts and honey. It's not super tight or acidic, and thus the palate drips maple and molasses. Medium-bodied and balanced, but with that shot of sugar offset by honest but mellow acids." —Michael Schachner, Wine Enthusiast Magazine #82, Wine Spectator's 2012 Top 100 Wines |
