"Aged under the castle of San Marcos in El Puerto (hence the name), aged just short of thelimit required for VOS, this is a lovely classic Amontillado with clean spice and polish.High oxidation makes this come close to an Oloroso, but the drinkability is sheerAmontillado, confirming Lustau,s reputation as specialists in this category of sherry.One of the best value wines in Jerez."
