Tasting notes
Emilio Lustau, Manzanilla Papirusa NV
'Complex and rich with savoury ripe citrus and fresh, yeasty nut aromas; vibrant and energetic with a lingering salty finish.' – Decanter World Wine Awards (Jun 2018), 92/100
Emilio Lustau, Fino del Puerto NV
'Bright, with lemon pulp, talc and chamomile notes. A chalky edge holds the finish, giving this a dried, chiseled feel. Drink now.' – James Molesworth, Wine Spectator (Sep 2018), 90/100
Emilio Lustau, Amontillado Los Arcos NV
'Walnut, halva, singed almond and green tea notes give this an intriguing profile, flirting with an off-dry character. Stays dry through the bitter orange-edged finish. Drink now.' – James Molesworth, Wine Spectator (Aug 2016), 90/100
Emilio Lustau, Palo Cortado Península NV
'Tremendously concentrated earthy chestnuts, coffee and chocolate flowing into a savoury, mellow palate with linear acidity and an iodine finish.' – Decanter World Wine Awards (Jun 2018), 93/100
Emilio Lustau, Oloroso Don Nuño NV
'Toffee and baked brown sugar aromas provide a nice opening in this wine. It's fresh and fearless, with popping acidity and layered flavors. Salty dried apricot and orange notes end with dashes of brine and pecan.' – Michael Schachner, Wine Enthusiast (Jun 2018), 92/100
Emilio Lustau, Pedro Ximénez San Emilio NV
'With piercing aromas of raisin pudding, molasses and spice, this rolls out the welcome mat and more. Luscious is probably as tame as you can put it; this is a ribald sweet wine with acidic backbone and hugely intense flavors of baked brown sugar, cinnamon cake and molasses. Powerful but still racy due to bracing acidity. About as good as it gets with P.X.' – Michael Schachner, Wine Enthusiast (Jun 2009), 93/100
