SPAIN TORO ALBALÁ MARQUÉS DE POLEY PALO CORTADO 1964 22%

This wine’s origin is the result of Antonio Sánchez personal choice over fino wine butts that had a different profile from the rest. After a long time and process of ageing, it acquired a great aromatic complexity. It’s one of the winery’s treasures, acknowledge with a Platinum medal in the Decanter DWWA awards with 97 points, and obtained 94-96 Robert Parker points.

The 1964 Palo Cortado Marqués de Poley Selección was aged in a solera system of which 50 botas remain. It’s a very old fortified wine produced with Pedro Ximénez grapes, aged in well-seasoned American oak barrels. It is full-bodied, which hints at an Oloroso origin, and has the aromas of a very old wine with rusty nail, saltpeter, low tide, phosphor and matchstick notes with a volatile twist. Wines like this are not meant to be consumed by the general public (the price already prevents that) as their style is not easy to appreciate.—《Robert Parker Wine Advocate》
