Lustau “Solera Reserva’ Fino Jarana Sherry is produced by Emilio Lustau and Bodega Lustau in southern Spain. This medium weight wine is made with 100% Palomino grapes and presents with a brilliant, pale yellow color. In the glass you’ll note that a good swirl will not produce “legs” but will show a strong sheeting action. The alcohol level is pleasant at 15% ABV and this is dry holding only 1g/l of residual sugar. The aromas show lemon curd, buttered popcorn yet slight medicinal notes. The mouthfeel is solid but just shy of weighty and a medium to long finish that nudges toward the essence of walnut oil and almond paste.

On the tour. Wasn’t impressed with either this one or the fino Jarana. One of the two had a burnt hair note that stuck out. Both relatively thin. These are very large scale commercial bottlings and I’ll take Tio Pepe over them any day.

Almost a smidge of volatility, lemon, fresh herbs, salted almonds, walnuts. Juicy, fleshy palate is less complex but this is served too cold.

Roof Top Sherry and More (David's Place, Mpls): Tasting pour. Nose with diesel, burnt rubber, nutty; palate shows distilled white fruit, grain, brine, oak planks.
