The 2007 Old Vines has the same residual sugar as the Victoria cuvee but was entirely barrel-fermented. The grapes were selected from a parcel ranging in age from 80-100 years. It displays a deeper color bordering on amber followed by a splendid and already complex perfume of peach, apricot, mineral, and tropical aromas. On the palate it is exceptionally intense and concentrated with a firm, balancing acid structure which will keep this superb effort intact for many years. Victoria Ordonez recommends pairing it with mango ice cream or black chocolate. Jorge Ordonez & Co specializes in irresistible sweet wines made from Moscatel de Alejandria grapes grown on the steep hillsides of Almachar in Malaga. As an aside, I was shown the 2005 Esencia de Almachar which was previously reviewed in Issue 175 (2/08). Patient purchasers should be pleased to know that the wine is evolving beautifully and should continue to provide pleasure for another 10+ years.
