Equipo Navazos La Bota 115 Fino
Sanlucar de Barrameda, SPAIN
This saca (withdrawal) was made in August 2022 from the same bodega in Jerez de la Frontera that has produced every previous edition of La Bota de Fino. The first release was bottled in 2006 as No. 2 in the series. This release comes from a selection made by Eduardo Ojeda, who has made this wine from the beginning, drawing on casks from the usual solera together with some younger criaderas from the Macharnudo Alto estate. The aim is always a blend of finesse, freshness, and character, and the average age is close to eight years.
Other Reviews...
The NV La Bota de Fino 115 is still 100% from Macharnudo Alto, and they are trying to make a slightly more fluid wine, not like a Fino Amontillado, which was the case with some bottlings coming from the selection of very old soleras. It's slightly different from the previous edition, number 91; this is slightly younger, between seven and eight years of age, but it keeps the same style, just a little more approachable. It's still an old Fino, with notes of esparto grass and volume in the palate. 6,000 bottles produced. This was bottled in August 2022 in 0.75-liter bottles. Drink 2022-2029.
