Amontillado NPU (Non Plus Ultra) by Sanchez Romate
This is an older release of Sanchez Romate flagship Amontillado NPU (2013). They have updated the bottle shape and style since, but what I got inside is excellent.
Rusty brown, easily mistaken for an Oloroso by just color..
Nose: Hazlenuts, roasted almonds, again Oloroso nutiness yet a hint of something.
The verdict: Begins with a zest which after all the Oloroso references reminds you immediately of its Fino roots, amazing that it snaps you away of what you thought it was going to taste like. This Amontillado has character, it continues long and intense. Good harmony between biological and oxidative aging, memorable smooth dry end. Excellent.
