Primitivo Quiles ‘Gran Imperial’ Vino Generoso Reserva Especial Solera 1892 Moscatel–Monastrell NV prijames-halliday Five MountainRARE!? There are 102 bottles drawn of this every 2 years; TSA currently holds 17 of them! This is a single big barrel which started out as the 1892 Fondillon solera of Monastrell. It was aged as such for 50 years, but since then has spent 50 years being progressively topped with Moscatel EXTRA. Deep, long, figgy Monastrell is the spine, with the back half and finish given a sweet coating of dark Moscatel. MAD MAD wine and really, truly great.
