Dark hues of old gold, rich dark amber colour. Deep, raisiny intense aromas and dry to very dry flavour. Reminiscent of delicate toasted pastries. Silky, soft on the palate with a dry, full, long, graceful finish associated with lengthy cask ageing.

Robert Parker Review:
The extraordinary non-vintage Oloroso Asuncion is a medium dark amber-hued, dry, rich, intense effort displaying an amazing perfume of walnuts and honey. Full-bodied, dry, powerful flavors linger on the palate. It is a steal at this price. Drink it with sushi or any number of tapas dishes.
Wine Spectator Review:
Just off-dry and full of chocolate and molasses flavors with accents of butterscotch and iodine. Very harmonious and intense, with a long, pleasant finish. Pedro Ximénez. Drink now. 200 cases imported. –BS
Food pairing
A wine to be drunk in mid-morning and also in the afternoon, at tea or other refreshment, or with desserts. It is a perfect substitute of brandy, to be accompanied with nuts. For the most audacious, serve with meats accompanied by trick sauces.
