The NV La Bota de Manzanilla Pasada 120 Botas NO is the most recent bottling of this mythical wine in this case the result of combining the ?Bota Punta? with two outstanding casks of the 1/15 solera. This is an extraordinary Manzanilla of character complexity and depth with 14 years of average age matured under flor for 10 years (and in a more oxidative way the last four to five years) in topped-up barrels. So it's a little in the way of turning into an Amontillado but keeping the biological and saline character of the Manzanilla. I tasted from an opened bottle and the wine had closed down and took some time to open up. The nose is impressive for the first time with some Amontillado hints mainly hazelnuts and a little varnish. It has concentration and depth persistence and pungency. It's approachable and has the stuffing and balance to age nicely. 3000 half-liter bottles produced. It was bottled in 2023.
