Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The NV Amontillado Olvidado 1/5 comes from a selection of five butts (casks) of a forgotten amontillado (olvidado means forgotten) that were left for years in the Sánchez Romate cellars, until selected and bottled by Peter Dauthieu from négociant Viniberia. The nose is a telltale amontillado, very intense and pungent, with some flavors of tobacco leaves and roasted hazelnuts intermixed with marine, saline sensations. I tasted from a bottle that was filled on December 20, 2015, and they filled 2,000 half-bottles that day. The price given is for a half-bottle.

Description
Sánchez Romate Amontillado Olvidado is a wine that carries in its essence the patience of time. It is not just any wine. It is one of those that seem to whisper stories of past generations, of casks that have witnessed the passing of the years without haste, without shortcuts.
The Sánchez Romate winery, with more than 130 years of history in Jerez, is a benchmark when it comes to wines with character. Its commitment to tradition is reflected in every sip, especially in this Amontillado Olvidado, which has aged undisturbed, as if it had been waiting for the right moment to be discovered.
Made exclusively from Palomino grapes, Sánchez Romate Amontillado Olvidado comes from the legendary albariza soils, those white, chalky soils that catch the sunlight and reflect it strongly, allowing the vines to absorb all its essence. There is no trick here, only the magic of nature and the expert hand of the winemaker.
Winemaking
Sánchez Romate Amontillado Olvidado is the result of an almost mystical process. It is aged under the veil of flor, that thin layer of yeasts that protects it, and over time, as the flor disappears, it comes into contact with oxygen. This is where the transformation takes place: the wine develops its unmistakable amber colour and those toasted aromas that make it so special. Its ageing of more than 25 years in American oak casks gives it a deep, complex character, but without losing its elegance.
Taste
From the first moment, Sánchez Romate Amontillado Olvidado captures the attention. Its aroma is intense, with hints of hazelnuts, tobacco, and a slight touch of old wood. On the palate it is a marvel: dry, but with a silky texture that glides easily. The acidity is perfectly balanced, giving way to a long, enveloping finish, where the nuts and toasted notes are engraved on the palate.
Sánchez Romate Amontillado Olvidado is not a wine to drink in a hurry. It is to be enjoyed at a leisurely pace, ideal with a good Iberian ham, a cured cheese, or simply on its own, in a moment of introspection. Serving it between 12° and 14°C allows it to unfold its full complexity.
A wine like this is not forgotten. It is discovered, experienced and, above all, enjoyed.
