The Oloroso Almirante is one of the older wines in the line-up (together with the Amontillado del Principe of similar age). It ages in a traditional system of one solera and five criaderas.
It has been given an upgrade in 2017, with a nicer looking label and of course the 15 Year Old age statement. The price also increased a little.

| TASTING NOTES | Rather classic Oloroso aromas, perhaps slightly rounder (apparently sweeter) than others. Hazelnuts and walnut cake. Fruit pastry with prunes and dried pears, as well as cinnamon and toffee. I also find a brighter side, with candied orange peel and a nice minty aroma. Later it comes back to the nutty notes, with hints of nocciola and tobacco in the background.
Medium intensity and fairly low acidity at first. It’s dry but it feels nicely glyceric with an (imaginary) hint of sweetness. Raisins, red berry jam, figs, dates and toffee. The fact that there is very little oak spice or tannins make this come accross a little younger than it actually is. An increasing acidity over time, with a subtle saline touch. Toasted nuts, leather and some umami flavours in the finish, slowly drying out. |
