Recóndita Armonía 1987 37,5 cl

The NV Recondita Armonia Fondillon Solera 1987 is the blend of the different years since he started producing Fondillon in 1987, so we could say this is the real McCoy, a solera started 26 years ago. The wine is stored in a 1,300-liter American oak barrel, to which new wine is added when it has aged for 10 years, and only a small quantity (400 half-liter bottles) is taken out and bottled every year. This is one of the few Fondillon wines produced in Alicante today. Dark mahogany color with an amber edge, the extremely complex nose is redolent of cashews, spices, curry, aromatic herbs, balsamic to the point that it reminded me of an old Barolo Chinato or similar vermouth, full of Mediterranean aromas with ginger, leather and coffee. It’s a heady wine, velvety, warm, and intense, pungent and long, it stays in your mouth for minutes. A truly exceptional, unique wine that should last well. Drink 2013-2025.
