Sweetness balanced by high acidity.
Long finish and intense.
Excellent as an aperitif, in contrast to savoury appetizers. As an after-dinner accompaniment to pastries.
A wine for dring on its own. Single barrel selection called "els calderons" from the collection "barricas centenarias".
A recovered treasure. A wine that exceeds by decades the maximum age of 50 years that the appellation catalogues for this type of wine. A rarity.
