Oloroso VORS, Harveys
Olorosos are always complex and interesting wines that awaken in the consumer a long list of stimuli. They are visually picturesque due to the mahogany notes they treasure, while at the same time they have long and intricate olfactory sensations. All this is due to the long oxidative aging they undergo in the sherry wine cathedrals. Today I propose this Oloroso VORS.
Today, we are going to taste the Oloroso VORS from Bodegas Harveys. A wine that has a certified age of at least 30 years. Do you remember where you were 30 years ago…?
Visual phase: the wine has a delicate mahogany color with very nice reddish reflections. It has a persistent tear, good density and is extremely clean and bright.
Olfactory phase: it has a high intensity, very effusive. It requires a long time capturing aromas to be able to find an important part of them. Nuts such as walnuts or almonds, toasted notes, cigar box, dried apricots, dried flowers, and some resinous memories among others.
Tasting phase: it has a dry and sharp entry, the sensations on the tongue are light and fresh. It has an extremely powerful and long aftertaste, finishing with a very elegant and lasting aftertaste.
We are talking about a very delicate and elegant product, a jewel of those that you find only once in a while and that “brighten up an afternoon”. It is a wine to take time and enjoy, it is best appreciated sip by sip and dedicating the necessary time to find all the nuances it offers.
It has a difficult pairing to specify, since it can work with everything and with nothing. Personally, I find it ideal to accompany a long meal with a large number of dishes, in a “catavinos” glass and pouring a little at a time, to be enjoyed chilled.
It has an Exceptional rating, reaching a score of 95 points.
