Description

Tres Palmas fino can be defined as the perfect development of Tio Pepe concentrated into a wine glass. After 10 years ageing in touch with the ‘flor’, it has a unique personality. Just one cask, the number 32, has been selected from 150 casks making up this historical solera. Average 10 years in American oak casks following the traditional Solera system.

Tasting note

Tres Palmas hows an old gold colour with greenish hints that reveals its old age making way to oxidative and penetrating touches where the oak can be perceived strongly. Its palate is sapid and lingering with a salty and creamy aftertaste.

Jancis Robinson (Purple Pages jancisrobinson.com):

Very fragrant, ginger and wild dried grasses. Yeasty, almost musty, gloriously complex with something sweet even though it is bone dry. Powerful and spicy and utterly mouth-watering. Points: 18 . Date Tasted: 29/03/2017

Robert Parker Wine Advocate (robertparker.com):

There was a sweetish feeling in the nose of the 2018 bottling of the NV Fino Tres Palmas, a Fino that takes biological aging to an extreme, bottling just one single cask from the solera La Constancia after an average of ten years under flor, and it has started to show weak notes of oxidative and nutty aromas and flavors. The palate felt much better, compact and complete, with a dry texture, as the yeast has eaten all the glycerin, and it falls at the back of the palate. Only 667 half-liter bottles were filled in October 2018. (Luis Gutiérrez) Points: 92. Issue Date: 28/06/2019

Decanter Magazine (decanter.com):

Amazingly intense nutty aromas combined with burnt orange and white flowers unfold beautifully onto a gloriously dry, balanced palate. All the sinew of youth is still there, but also layers of honey. A very individual and memorable wine. (Blind tasted by Oz Clarke, Christelle Guibert, Andy Howard MW)Points: 95. Date Tasted: 02/10/2017

Jamie Goode (wineanorak.com):

10 years old. The flor dies between four and eight years but this depends on the individual barrel. This is spicy and rich with orange peel, cherries, nuts and cheese. Tangy and complex with lovely intensity. Such detail and finesse. Points 96/100. Date Published: 11/11/2017
