La Bota de Manzanilla Pasada 100 Botas NO 50 cl
Descripción
La Bota de Manzanilla Pasada 100 Botas NO resulta de combinar la Bota Punta junto con las otras dos mejores botas de la solera 1/15, de donde proceden todas las ediciones de botas punta y NO de manzanilla pasada desde la número 20 de la serie. Con ella, Equipo Navazos nos entrega un vino excepcional, único. Destaca su inigualable carácter biológico de fondo, debido a que las botas están llenas muy por encima del nivel de 5/6 habitual en el Marco. Esto hace que la lámina de levaduras no sea tan extensa, manteniendo el aporte de los escasos rocíos periódicos.

Equipo Navazos celebrated its 15th birthday on 9 December 2020, and marked the occasion with its 100th bottling. An excuse for a new release, then, but what a release! The wine is a Manzanilla Pasada – like all the releases ending in zero. It’s a larger release than usual, combining three outstanding casks. The wine is some 14 years old. A key feature is that the butts have been kept close to full, well about Sherry’s usual 5/6 level meaning that there’s less flor; what's there is feeble through age. The resulting slow oxidation gives glorious complexity. Enough of the detail: the wine is simply sensational. A fabulous blend of elegance and intensity, with notes from the chalky Sanlucar terroir. If you have never tasted Equipo Navazos before, this is the place to begin. And if you are used to drinking light, pale, faint regular Manzanillas, then snap this up. It’s a revelation. Congratulations and Happy Anniversary Equipo Navazos.
The next of the single-cask Manzanilla Pasada (80, 60, 50, 40 and 20) is the NV La Bota de Manzanilla Pasada 100 Botas NO, selected from three butts (botas, in plural) to have more volume of the wine number 100. It's a bottling that always had more demand than supply. So, they made more bottles—2,700 half-liter ones and some larger formats. It was bottled in October 2020. Like in previous bottlings, it's bottled at 16.5% alcohol at an estimated average age of 15 years, the first 10 years under flor and the subsequent five with the barrels fully topped up, following an oxidative aging. This has more concentration and extract than the 110 I tasted next to it, but I favored the elegance and finesse of that other one. Still, it's a stratospheric wine, an explosion of concentration, flavors and minerality, a little more oxidative.
Espectacular!
La mejor manzanilla que he probado en mi vida. Si lo comparásemos con un fino sería el Tío Pepe Tres Palmas.
Sin la menor dudas la mejor manzanilla pasada que he probado en mi vida.Un millón de gracias al Equipo Navazos,y a Bodeboca
