1970 Bodega Tradicion Oloroso Anada Sherry 750ml
This vanishingly rare bottling hails from a single vintage– 1975– and having been bottled at 42 years of age without any refreshment with new wines as in the standard multi-vintage solera system, it maintains an incredibly pungent, expressive and mature character.

- Jerez, Andalucia, Spain
- Tasting note
- Copper and mahogany tinted amber, fading to a touch of green at the rim. Fresh, tight, and clean on the nose, with dried fruits, cinnamon, orange peel, tobacco, and chocolate, framed by walnut and toasted almond. The palate shows marmalade, raisins, nuts, and sweet spices, with real body, gentle tannins, and a racy, refreshing acidity.
- Pairs with
- Aged Manchego or other hard sheep's cheeses, Marcona almonds and walnuts, jamón ibérico, roasted duck or venison, and a not-too-sweet flan or dark chocolate.
- Serving
- Serve at 16-18°C (60-64°F) in a small glass. No decanting needed; it has already spent 42 years resolving in wood.
- Cellaring
- Already at full maturity; drink now, no benefit to further aging. Once opened, its high alcohol and oxidative style let it hold for several weeks, even months, under cork.
- Winemaking
- Static aging with no solera system (a true añada/vintage wine): a single American oak cask, No. 751, sealed since the 1970 vintage and topped only with wine from that same vintage, under Consejo Regulador oversight. Bottled in 2012 after 42 years in wood, having lost an estimated 45-50% of volume to evaporation. One of only 250 bottles produced.
