The Lustau Dry Oloroso Reserve Don Nuño NV is a benchmark dry Sherry from Jerez, crafted from 100% Palomino and aged oxidatively for around 12 years in the traditional solera system. This extended ageing without flor produces a deeper, more powerful style of Oloroso, emphasizing richness, structure and complexity while maintaining balance and freshness. The nose is intense and layered, showing toasted walnut, almond and hazelnut, complemented by notes of dark chocolate, toffee and a distinctive smoky wood character.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a rich, rounded texture supported by bright acidity. Flavours of roasted nuts, caramel and dried fruit lead to a long, concentrated and savoury finish with a subtle saline lift. The style is dry, powerful and complex, offering depth without heaviness and a classic expression of aged Oloroso.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a benchmark Oloroso and one of the best-value aged Sherries in the market. It’s ideal for customers who enjoy rich, nutty and oxidative wines like Jura or aged Madeira. This is not light - it’s structured, intense and deeply savoury. Serve slightly chilled. Drink now and stable for extended periods once opened. Perfect with roasted meats, game, aged cheeses, mushrooms or as a digestif.
