A text book Amontillado of great maturity. Naturally dry and soft, its palate gives a hint of wood and smoky raisins. A powerful and distinctive nutty bouquet. A better Amontillado would be difficult to find. The Los Arcos Amontillado is ideal as a warming aperitiff, with tapas, especially nuts and meats. It can also be served with a meal or any type of cold meat platter or richly flavored seafoods.
Lovely fragrance, pear and lemon zest with a briny/oyster shell-like accent; the fragrance suggests something sharp and tart but it's softer in the mouth than I'd expect with a creamy, polished texture, though at the same time it's very precise and focused with bright acidity beneath.
