The new bottling many of us wait for every ten editions is now here in the shape of the NV La Bota de Manzanilla Pasada 80 Bota Punta. It's bottled at 16.5% alcohol at an estimated average age of 15 years, the first ten years under flor and the subsequent five with the barrels fully topped up, following an oxidative (normal) aging. This is always a stratospheric wine, taken from the same few barrels—in this case the last one, the "bota punta"—and the character is similar with only small nuances. It was previously offered, from the very same cask, with the editions 20, 40, 50 and 60. This is still quite shy on the nose, but the palate is an explosion of concentration, flavors and minerality. It's still quite biological, with the effect of the oxidation very subtle. The empty glass had amazing aromas of dried leaves, petrol, esparto and cheese rind. This should develop nicely in bottle. The benchmark Bota 30 from June 2011 is still going strong. Only 950 half-liter bottles produced.
