A fella has a pretty decent supply here: 16 bottles and 11 different wines from this brilliant team. A fair few more have come and gone too.

I have written before about the contribution these guys have made to marketing these wines with their magic numbers and the resulting scarcity.

But more importantly, the wines are of a very high quality indeed. Even in the three years I have known about them I have had the pleasure of 23 different botas:

• Oloroso 14 “Bota NO”
• Manzanilla pasada 20 “Bota Punta”
• Fino 27 “Macharnudo Alto”
• Manzanilla 32 “Navazos”
• Palo Cortado 34
• Fino 35 “Macharnudo Alto” 
• Pedro Ximenez 36 “Bota No”
• Amontillado 37 “Navazos”
• Manzanilla pasada 40 “Bota Punta”
• Florpower MMX 44
• Fino que va para Amontillado 45 “Montilla”
• Oloroso 46 “Montilla”
• Palo Cortado 47 “Bota NO”
• Palo Cortado 48 “Bota Punta”
• Amontillado 49 – Bota AR
• Manzanilla Pasada 50 “Bota Punta”
• Palo Cortado 51 “Bota GF”
• Palo Cortado 52 “Sanlucar”
• Florpower MMX “mas alla” 53
• Fino 54 “Macharnudo Alto”
• Manzanilla 55
• Amontillado 58 “Navazos”
• Manzanilla pasada 59 “Capataz Rivas”

Between them they cover every category and style of wine: some classic and elegant, some extreme, museum pieces, some innovative wines and some pushing the technical boundaries. And to these you can add bubbles by Colet Navazos, table wine under the label Niepoort Navazos, brandies and who knows what next?

It really is a fantastic body of work.
