A Best Buy |
| Luis Gutiérrez also awarded this Sherry an impressive 94 points (robertparker.com, Aug. 28, 2013). TASTING NOTE: Inocente is one of the only Fino Sherries (and perhaps the only one) that still follows the tradition of fermentation in wood. The slow exposure to oxygen as it ages in barrels increases the wine's aromatic complexity, the notes fanning out beyond salt and citrus toward herbs and smoke. It feels tense and firm, driven by electric acidity, ready for tapas, like boquerones or fried baitfish. Score - 94 (wineandspiritsmagazine.com, Oct. 2013) |
