Many first wines would like to be of the quality of this second wine from the iconic Milmanda. This is a more accessible wine with nice aromatic complexity, a blend of fruit and floral aromas, accompanied by subtle notes derived from its ageing. It is fresh and smooth on the palate, preserving the fruity aromas and a balanced acidity.

Its old solera, which is over 30 years old, gives this wine the complexity necessary to place it among the best PX wines in Jerez. This wine is dense and tasty with intense aromas of “raisined” figs and dates with some roasted overtones. A small glass of this wine is a treat.
