Palo Cortado de la Cruz de 1767
Descripción
El Palo Cortado es un tipo de vino de Jerez, de crianza oxidativa, muy complejo y escaso. Se caracteriza por tener una nariz fina y delicada como la de un amontillado viejo y una boca con gran estructura y persistencia como la de los olorosos viejos. Con una producción limitada a 6000 botellas al año, este Palo Cortado destaca por la sorprendente suavidad con la que entra, siendo un vino absolutamente seco y con tanta estructura. Orejones, piel de naranja, clavo y frutos secos, es toda una explosión larga y poderosa.

Opinión de los críticos
The one and only wine produced here is the NV Palo Cortado de la Cruz de 1767, from a solera that started with old casks and young wine purchased in Chipiona. The wine has been aged in the solera and criaderas dynamic system, mixing younger wine every year. It has a light mahogany color and a nose that mixes hazelnuts with varnish and spices, quite marked by oak, still youthful with notes of orange peel but already developing some complexity. It's a lighter style of Palo Cortado. The palate is soft, but it has good structure, like an Oloroso of unusual finesse; but the notes of oak make a comeback here too, and as the wine sat in the glass, the oak seemed to grow and finally took over most of the character of the wine. 6,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in October 2018, even if the bottling date is not obvious, but the back label has a code that states the year (18) and the number of the day in that year when it was bottled (299, for example). - Luis Gutiérrez.
Un excelente vino, con mucho carácter y personalidad, un color ámbar increíble, con aromas a roble y un poco de clavo. Muy redondo ¡Genial!
Muy fino, delicioso.
