First experience with this top sherry, and I loved it. The sharp acidity really appeals, especially relative to the less-acidic sherry that was used in the salad dressing. Fantastic.

Palo Cortado Sanluqueño procedente Pedro Romero. Color caoba con destellos rojizos. Un vino con una nariz racial, intensa, bien perfilada, con notas de azúcar quemado, barniz de mueble viejo, frutos secos caramelizados, salino, con matices de especias exóticas... En boca entra muy intenso, es un cuchillo, afilado amargos intenso, impactante, largo y con increíble profundidad. Vino de reflexión. No es fácil de maridar, pero acompañó muy bien un gamoneu.

Wine Tasting Group - Sherry/Madeira - Mar. 10, 2019 (My house): Addition from Brian. From the cellars of Gaspar Florido / Pedro Romero. Saca Dec 2013. 22% abv. From wines definitely >30 yo. Wildly complex and very intense that's hard to describe. Nuts, strong walnut skins, herbs, burnt caramel, fresh briny seaweed/kelp, moderate oxidative notes, and a hint of honey to balance all of the swirling flavors. Excellent acids freshens the wine to get almost a paradox of old and fresh sensations. In many ways, more intellectual than sensual for me and a wine that I need to sit with longer than the time that we had. 94+.

A Medlar Dinner: Everything dialed up to eleven. It's concentrated, intense, painfully so. So complex and nuance and it keeps going. One for sipping and contemplating, perhaps garnering respect rather than love. 80 years old, and monumental. *****

deeper amber than the Cesar Florida. Musty on the nose, basement mushroom cardboard. Yeah not my jam, very sharp and bad oxidation character.
