TASTING NOTE: A nutty, totally enveloping sherry with a balanced degree of sweetness. An aged dry Oloroso and a sweet PX are blended and returned to casks making for a unique and complex style. Drinks almost like a table wine, balanced, without heaviness but with a great deal of flavour. Concentrated and engaging but not overwhelmingly so. Elegant and focused by not shy. A highly pleasurable experience. Excellent length. Score - 94 (Sara d'Amato, winealign.com, July 6, 2017) |
