This is not as intense as other Amontillados on the market as it is younger, it is more of a grown up, oxidised Tio Pepe.
Ageing: Average 12 years in American oak casks following the traditional Solera system
Viña AB is a young amontillado which has experienced both ageing under flor and oxidative ageing. Due to the contact with oxygen it has taken on a light amber colour. On the nose subtle and delicate with typical Palomino aromas of nuts, in this case hazlenuts and slight reminders of yeast due to its time under the flor. On the palate Viña 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.
Viña AB is excellent with cold cuts, white meats, rice dishes and difficult foods to match such as artichokes and asparagus.
