Gonzalez Byass Vina AB Amontillado

$50.00
ViƱa AB is a young Amontillado which has experienced both ageing under flor and oxidative ageing. Due to contact with oxygen, it has taken on a light amber colour. On the nose subtle and delicate with typical Palomino aromas of hazelnuts, and slight reminders of yeast due to its time under the flor. On the palate ViƱa AB shows subtle notes of oak due to the 12 years spent in cask. Pleasant with a balanced acidity. Long aftertaste with slight saltiness and bitterness on the finish. Serve well chilled, 8-12 ĀŗC, in a small white glass to appreciate the full bouquet of aromas. ViƱa AB is a complex wine which provides unique versatility, matching even the most complicated dishes. Perfect with charcuterie, duck, consomĆ©, hard cheese and nuts. "Fresh, offering bright peach, hazelnut husk, bitter orange and salt notes. Stays light and racy in feel, with a bone-dry finish. Drink now. 851 cases made, 250 cases imported." - 91 points, James Molesworth, Senior Editor and Special Projects Director at Wine Spectator
