Pérez Barquero Solera 1955 Palo Cortado
Descripción
Este Palo Cortado comenzó su vida como un fino, con una fase biológica de crianza bajo velo de flor, lo que podría explicar que en el paladar traiga recuerdos salinos. La fecha en la etiqueta del vino, 1955, no se refiere al año de cosecha del vino, ya que son una mezcla de varias añadas envejecidas en una solera que hipotéticamente comenzó unos 50 años después de la creación de la bodega en 1905. El resultado es un vino oxidativo de gran elegancia, concentración y potencia.

Opinión de los críticos
This opens with a nose of cedar, caramel, toast, orange peel and saddle leather, offering a complex and inviting aromatic profile. The palate delivers exceptional concentration of flavors balanced by a severe, cutting acidity that gives the wine remarkable lift and precision. Long, persistent and deeply expressive. Drink now.
The 1955 range (which is a fictional number and not a vintage year) has a new bottling from November 2024 of the NV 1955 Palo Cortado Solera Cincuentenario. It's a very old wine bottled at 22% alcohol, 7.9 grams of acidity (tartaric) and 4.16 grams of sugar, but it comes through as bone dry; it's only the concentration through old age. This is quite shy, a little closed and certainly not as expressive as the Amontillado from this same range. There is finesse and complexity, combining power with elegance and notes of old wine with the energy of a younger one. It's subtle rather than powerful. This is the saca 1/2024, with 306 bottles. It should last forever. - Luis Gutiérrez.
