Hakjoong
Concentrated and inviting wine with a cohesive evenness of well-rounded notes, accompanied by the soft presence of dried apricots and the warmth of polished furniture. The addition of hazelnuts and almonds adds layers and texture, in contrast the coastal nuances provide a lively and oxidative character. The acidity is racy and well-balanced, with a trace of dried apricot and a touch of saltiness. The follow through is long and satisfying, with a understated nuttiness and a nuance of caramel.
Nanah
Rich, detailed amontillado with a golden amber color and a nose of caramel, orange, and nuttiness. The flavor is sour, sweet, bitter, and oily, with a strong nutty flavor reminding of hazelnuts and dried fruit, as well as spices like cloves and nutmeg. The aftertaste is long and smooth, with a soft whisper of furniture polish and a smoky note of hickory. It undergoes many variations and changes with temperature and food, making it a truly multi-faceted wine.

Lustau Almacenista Amontillado del Castillo is praised for its rich caramel and toffee sweetness, balanced by dried apricot and nutty flavors. While some enjoy its oxidative character and racy acidity, others note its complex, multi-faceted nature with hints of furniture polish and hickory. The wine's long, smooth finish and ability to change with temperature and food are highlights.
This Amontillado, with its deep amber hue, offers an intricate bouquet of roasted almonds, dried apricots, and a whisper of sea spray, indicative of its coastal origins. On the palate, it reveals a remarkable balance of saline minerality and nutty richness, underscored by a vibrant acidity that enlivens its medium-bodied frame. The finish is enduring, with notes of caramelized orange peel and a subtle, savory umami character. Exemplifying the finesse and complexity typical of Jerez, this wine is a quintessential expression of the Amontillado style, suitable for both contemplation and gastronomic pairing.
