  Bottle of half a liter. Dry wine with a sweet point yet of rancid character that ages in the old school way, about twenty years in barrel before taking to realise. Conglomerate cork. Faded orange colour. Classic deep aromas of rancid wines with old cooper notes, Sevillian bitter oranges, medicinal vegetation. Pleasantly soft. The palate is deep, definitely quaffing, with good acidity and a long aftertaste surprisingly sweet. A lord of wines from Monastrell with an alcoholic content (14.5 ABV) after more than twenty years. Gonzalez-Byass Apóstoles reminiscing. Outstanding. Unique.
  
  Botella de medio litro. Vino seco con un punto dulce aunque de caracter rancio que envejece a la antigua usanza, unos veinte años en barrica antes de sacarlo al mercado. Corcho de conglomerado. Difuminado color anaranjado. Clásicos aromas profundos de los vinos rancios con notas tonelería vieja, naranjas amargas sevillanas, vegetación medicinal. Agradablemente suave. Al paladar se muestra profundo, definitivamente goloso, de una buena acidez y una larga longitud retrogusto sorprendentemente dulce. Un señor vino de Monastrell con un grado alcohólico contenido por los más de veinte años. Rememorando a un Apósteles de González Byass. Fuera de lo común. Único.
