The Wine
'Deep and spicy; showing caramel, coffee and dark chocolate aromas, before moving on to a clean, lingering palate that hosts almonds, leather, dried citrus peel, refreshing acidity and wonderfully uplifting fruit.' 92 Pts Decanter World Wine Awards 2016 - Silver
'Bright amber colour with golden hints. This complex Amontillado shows intense smoky wood, and nutty aromas, resulting from years of ageing in the bodegas of Jerez. Dry and elegant on the palate, with a long spicy aftertaste. Aged following a biological ageing the first part of its life, then passing on to a longer period under oxidative ageing, inside the Bodega Emperatriz Eugenia in Jerez de la Frontera. This Amontillado is a tribute to friendship in the Air Force wing (“Escuadrilla” in Spanish) of which Emilio Lustau was a member.' Bodegas Emilio Lustau
