Flor, dry fig, bruised red apple, subtle tropical fruit/jack fruit on the nose. Palate aligns with nose, red apple characters. Balanced and refreshing. Despite 15%, the alcohol is not standing out at all with high acidity. Medium flavour intensity and medium finish with savoury and flor notes. Solid quality and good bargain.

15 percent abv. L15-268, does this mean a 2015 bottling? New Age Imports, LLC, Verona New Jersey. Screw-capped. Selo NKF 12777796
Pale brilliant green color, with widely separated tears.
Nose is warm, lightly sweet, with some spring flowers, a little drying sensation; gooseberry, some mineral notes and a touch of savoriness.
Precise entry, with a juicy tartness, slightly green-apple texture, and a dusting of apple on the finish. Excellent value, but would be bette without what appears to be such tight filtration. Little apparent development in the glass or decanter. Makes an excellent tall sherry drink, whatever you like to call it.

Cloudy, which was strange. Is that normal or a sign it had gone bad? Tasted ok, with medium flor for a manzanilla. Less acidity and brightness than I was expecting.

In my opinion, the most successful of the basic range. I hadn't had any sherry in months and this was the only decent one at the local store--it did the trick. Typicity and very refreshing.

The entire standard line (from Manzanilla to Cream) of Barbadillo Sherry rates at an 84, good and very solid. The Manzanilla is light, dry, fresh, balanced, with a little brine and citrus. For the price, quite serviceable. We're lucky to have these in CT. An affordable and good line of Sherrie,s which are almost always available.

Sherry og whisky forberedelse (Hos Peter): Farve: Mørk gul, gylden. Aroma: Gær, støv, vindruer, fersken, æble. Smag: Meget let, støv, delikat, æble, vandig. Eftersmag: Kort, ganske lidt bitter. Ikke nogen typisk Manzanilla, men derimod nærmere en let hvidvin. Den er blød og rund i stedet for knastør, Kedelig og for let.

Light, nearly water-white, straw color. When I opened the bottle and poured the first glass, cold out of the fridge, I got a whiff of flowers and sweet fruit like apple or pear. As it warmed, the aroma profile changed to include the more tangy, yeasty, almost cheesy aromas of Flor. On the palate it's quite dry, with a lot of flavor, salty seashore flavors on the mid-palate and a clean, sweet finish.

Nice clear yellow gold. Light melon and vanilla on the nose, followed by a hint of lemon. Medium body, and soft in the mouth with a nice clean lingering finish. Flavors of salt air, melon, lemon though overall very simple. Not bad and as it warms some a nice light(incredibly) carmel note creeps in giving it a nice roundness. Great warm weather wine. alt=3

Je l'ai bien aimé celui-là. Avec son côté fumé et évidemment bien boisé, il évoque un peu un whisky. Sec, mais moins que d'autres. Très bon!

Very light nose and palate. Clearly a Manzanilla but not very interesting.

Clean and crisp, with proper cut and weight for a basic fino. Flor character is subtle, but overall presentation is pleasing.

A private lunch (The Goring Hotel, London, UK): As light as a feather, fresh but quite soft, floral but without the expected salinity, hint of fruit, good length.
