Oloroso Tradición VORS

The single vintage wines are different, but they are not necessarily better than the solera wines. In fact I preferred the Oloroso VORS to the two single-vintage; I found it more complex and fluid, while the single vintages were more concentrated and powerful, but not as nuanced. I’m talking about the NV Tradicion Oloroso VORS, on average 45-50 years old, which gives the wine a concentration of glycerin and dry extract that is amazing. Silky, very interesting to see the wine that has been blended over the years is more complex. The proverbial iron fist in a velvet glove, it is full-bodied, and still follows the same, clean, elegant, precise line of the rest of the wines from Tradicion. Drink 2013-2025.

Bodegas Tradición’s specialism is very fine, oxidative wines. This Oloroso is textbook, showing a note of volatility on the nose to add pungency, and a mouthwatering freshness on the palate. It's the perfect wine to pair with a strong and salty sheep’s milk blue cheese.
