Barbadillo 12 Year Cuco Oloroso Sherry 375ml
Jerez-Xeres. This was a standout among a strong set of quite affordable sherries from Barbadillo. This is made up of Palomino Fino aged oxidatively for 12 years in a solera. The nose shows a dried oak spice, pan cooked high oil nuts (brazil nuts) and a core of minerality. The palate has a great texture to it. D&M Tasting NotesThe Oloroso Cuco is aged in different bodegas owned by Barbadillo, but mostly in the bodega Don Guillermo. Grapes are grown on 30 year-old vines in the pagos Gibalbin and Santa Lucía in the Jerez Superior area. I’ve read there are 13 criaderas in this solera system (quite a lot for an Oloroso, even for Sanlúcar), with just short of 6000 botas. This wine in turn feeds the solera of the Oloroso VORS.
