Description

Dos Cortados Solera Especial 20 Year Old 75cl, 21.5% is a mature Palo Cortado sherry from Williams & Humbert, produced in Jerez, Spain.

This Solera Especial release is rich, dry and complex, with a profile built around old gold colour, intense dried fruit, hazelnut, walnut, old oak, savoury depth and bright acidity.
