There is a new single-harvest 1998 Palo Cortado from Tradición, a wine that, even if it feels recent, is now over 20 years of age, as the solera wines don't age as fast as the static (non-solera or non-dynamic) wines, which age faster than the soleras and feel older. 1998 is also the year in which Tradición was created, and that's why they decided to bottle this "young" wine. It has an intense orange color, with notes of varnish and peach, noble woods and white spices, a touch of iodine even, complex and elegant, intense and pungent, with great complexity and nuance, layered, with a lush palate and flavors that linger in your mouth long after you swallow. This is an intense and showy Palo Cortado, combining some young and old characteristics that make it quite drinkable but don't detract from its complexity. 330 bottles were filled in December 2018 and marked as 1/18.
