NV Emilio Lustau Jerez East India Solera
Emilio Lustau
A Sweet White Dessert wine from
Jerez, Andalucia, Spain
Wine Advocate # 159
Jun 2005 Robert Parker 94 Drink - $15-$30
Readers looking for something weighty, sweet, and provocative should check out the non-vintage East India Solera. A blend of soleras averaging 15 to 50 years of age, it boasts a dark amber color as well as a huge nose of melted toffee, caramel, figs, and prunes. This over-the-top yet surprisingly vibrant (because of good acidity) effort is best drunk as dessert at the end of a meal.
Rich and concentrated with coffee and caramel flavors in a balanced presentation. Picks up a grilled nut accent on the finish. Solid and complex, but not cloying. Drink now. –BS
