A very old and rather extreme Oloroso as a result of a careful selection of ancient soleras from Sanlúcar de Barrameda (Cádiz), bottled by The Wine Bang (22%). An Oloroso to meditate on. Taste with the 5 senses.
Serving temperature: 10/12ºC
Nose: furniture polish mixed with berries (raspberry / cranberry) and Mediterranean herbs. A resinous note and a touch of brandy. A salty touch as well. Maybe not the most intense Oloroso nose, but a very balanced and elegant old wine nonetheless.
Mouth: potent, but not as extreme as I imagined (which is a positive thing, I guess). Sure, the acidity is higher than average and there’s a light bitterness from the wood, but it’s rather rounded and still very drinkable. There’s a light caramelly sweetness and a touch of glycerin, with roasted hazelnuts, a hint of tobacco / smoke and and echoes of dried fruits. Balanced leathery dryness in the end.

The Wine Bang (TWB) is a trio of wine lovers (brothers Pedro and Juan Morales of Bodegas Lunares in Ronda, with Victor Soltero) acting as an independent bottler since 2020, selecting unique casks among soleras in Montilla-Moriles and the sherry region. They’re mostly known for their faraonic series of Amontillados, named after Egyptian rulers like Tutanchamon, Ramses and Aknaton.
Taking into account that the 'sacas' do not exceed 10 arrobas (12.5 Kg each) and that the 'botas' are rarely emptied, the units of TWB wines are very limited. If you are lucky enough to get 2 bottles, or a family, drink them slowly, compare and prepare to feel the emotion of recognizing diversity among equals.
