TASTING NOTE

A Chiclana Amontillado that begins as Fino before moving into a substantial oxidative phase, retaining saline lift beneath mature nutty depth. The current technical profile presents it as made from 100% Palomino Fino and matured through biological + oxidative. It is documented with an average age of Biological phase of approx. 5 years followed by extended oxidation; exact total varies by source and format, 18% alcohol, and a 75cl / 1.5L format. Published total ages differ between the regular bottle, importer material and the magnum. Do not collapse them into one average without producer confirmation.

Amber, with hazelnut, dried citrus, tobacco and polished wood; dry, structured and long. The biological imprint gives lift to the oxidative depth, keeping the palate savoury and defined as the nut and citrus notes lengthen.
