Description

The GF in the 'Bota GF' stands for Gaspar Florido, who originally kicked off the source Solera with Palo Cortado, that most mysterious of sherry styles that sits between Amontillo and a light Oloroso.

Just 1200 half bottles released from the one butt, part of a very old solera. There's a kiss of sweetness apparent but so much length and complexity.A piece of Sherry history.

98 Points - "“Given that it's not easy to define these wines, other than to compare them with each other, I find this one to have more Palo Cortado character with a little more sweetness and with a hint of Oloroso. Out of these beasts, this is the most approachable and drinkable. Only 1,200 half bottles were filled with the content of one single cask.” - Luis Gutierrez (The Wine Advocate)

Together with the rest of the releases in this short series, La Bota de Palo Cortado 51 “Bota GF” gives us an increasingly rare opportunity to encapsulate and enjoy a little sample of the history of the Sherry district. We are talking about releases 41, 47, 48, 49, and 51: their estimated average ages range from 50–in the case of the youngest–to 80 years. There is simply not that much venerably old wine left around anymore, not to mention as balanced and harmonious as these; not even in the combined cellars of Jerez, El Puerto and Sanlúcar, and we fear that the chances of having access to jewels such as these are unlikely to abound in the future–especially at these prices and in lots of multiple wines of the same breed for us to compare.</p.
