The NV El Tresillo Amontillado Fino is from the El Tresillo solera (hence the same name as the 1874 Amontillado). It is basically a Fino that has completed its biological aging, alcohol level adjusted to 17%, the flor has disappeared and has only started its oxidative aging towards an Amontillado. This would be a Fino Amontillado, a category that does not officially exist anymore. It?s something between an old Fino and a young Amontillado. It has a combination of both the saline and marine notes of the biological aging and incipient notes of hazelnuts and a touch of varnish from the oxidative cycle. The palate shows the addition of alcohol that would need a little bit more time to get integrated. It?s an unusual wine. Luis Gutierrez, TWA.
