95 Points

Sunday, September 5, 2021 - Dinner at Jaleo (Chicago, IL): I have long been confounded by dry sherry, but I think I'm slowly starting to "get" it. The nose here is a myriad array of maple, tamarind, tangerine peel, Christmas spice, brown sugar, rancio and so many other things; it's mesmerizing in and of itself. The palate carries through on all of these flavours and has the same kaleidoscopic effect. I love the oxidation but crazy fresh acidity as well. Not much of an alcoholic kick here either; this is a lovely sort of sherry to have with food.
