Luis XIV Fondillón 25 Years is a historic and monumental wine, the noblest and most complex expression of Alicante's tradition. Made exclusively from late-harvested Monastrell grapes, this Fondillón is naturally fortified and aged under the solera system for over a quarter of a century in oak barrels. This oxidative and concentration process gives it a unique sensory profile, recognized with exceptional scores of 93 Parker points and 97 Peñín points. It presents a deep mahogany color with iodine edges. On the nose, it is intensely complex, with successive layers of dried fruits (fig, date, roasted walnut), beeswax, aged tobacco, sweet spices (clove, cinnamon), and a profound balsamic background. On the palate, it is dense, unctuous, and silky, with a sweetness perfectly balanced by vibrant acidity and an elegant final bitterness. Its structure is powerful and its finish is eternal, leaving an indelible aftertaste of noble rancio and candied fruit.
