Old tee type cork. Disintegrated upon opening. I had to use a regular corkscrew to get it all out.
Probably 40+ years in bottle. Decanted off sediment.
Amber bronze with just a hint of green at rim.
Aromas of dried persimmons, walnuts, limes, praline.
Medium full. Proper Boal sweetness. More persimmons and walnuts on the palate. Decent acidity. Brown sugar.
Good length and intensity.
I usually can't tell soleras that well, but this was obvious to me.
93 points. Just lacking more complexity to give it a higher score.
