Description
The 1937 Toro Albala proceeds from the sacristy that the Palma family had in the basement of their house located in Aguilar de la Frontera. The butt stack’s temperature and humidity were preserved in perfect conditions, which allowed this amontillado to age statically with refinement and elegance. José María Toro Albalá acquired this relic and stored it in his winery, waiting for the right moment to commercialize it. It has obtained 98 Robert Parker points.
“Convento Selección” are wines that have aged for generations in butts so that the wine and wood could merge with time and result into an unmatchable flavour. Our bottling system is called “Convento Selección” in honour to the Cistercian monk system in which the wine is classified in their own series. The entire elaboration is handmade, following San Benito’s Recula Rule: “Living off the work of our hands.”
Jet black with very bright amber reflections in the laterals and a very high layer. When shaken, its amazing density and intense iodized tones are shown. The first smells to appear are candied orange, dried figs, raisins, roasted apple, white pepper, cinnamon, almond and marzipan, followed by the aroma of coffee grains, liquorice and tobacco leaves. It's a wine with a lingering finish that envelops the whole mouth on its pass thanks to the high density of sugars. Silky, light and a well-balanced acidity with a bitter finish.
