Luis XIV Fondillón 50 Years is the ultimate historical and oenological expression of Alicante, a legendary wine that embodies centuries of tradition. Crafted exclusively from late-harvested Monastrell grapes from old vineyards, this Fondillón is naturally fortified and aged for a minimum of fifty years in oak barrels, where it evolves oxidatively and concentrates its soul. It presents a deep amber color, almost amethyst, with golden reflections and brick-red edges. On the nose, it is of astonishing and powerful complexity: it reveals successive layers of dried fruits such as fig and date, beeswax, old leather, Havana tobacco, exotic spices, and a profound balsamic background of pine resin. On the palate, it is majestic, with an unctuous and silky texture that coats the mouth. The sweetness is barely hinted, perfectly fused with a vibrant acidity and a still perceptible tannin that gives it a formidable structure. Its finish is eternal, leaving an indelible aftertaste of noble rancio, candied fruit, and precious woods.

• Appearance: Very deep mahogany color and orange-red rim with greenish sparkles, with high robe and great density.
• Nose: It smells of noble furniture, wrapped by a delicious aroma of coffee, dried fruits, dates, black tea..
• Palate: On the palate, it has a sweet entry balanced by a very high acidity. Its aromas are long, almost eternal and very intense. It tastes of old mahogany, very old cask and time gone by
