  Bruised and candied fruit up front, switches midway into a salty core and finishes surprisingly lean on good acidity. Surprisingly good pairing with french toast of all things on a brunch menu.

  Autunm hue with copper borders. Oxydised notes of dried orange, whalnuts, cumin spice, and strong scotch whiskey. Strong ending on heat and dry chalk. Ouch! Pairing is really difficult for a naive palate as mine. Dark criollo chocolate with almonds is a good try.

  Medium amber, a beautiful hue with high viscosity legs showing off the 20% ABV. The nose has medium intensity aromas of dried mixed nuts, desiccated plum, raisins, prunes and a salty herbal combo. The palate is dry with high alcohol and medium (+) acidity. Full bodied, this wine has loads of rich nutty flavors with dried fruit and a slightly bitter almond note with caramel and umami. The finish is a touch hot from the alcohol but I get lovely warmth from the heat- picture a mound of warmed nuts and some dried black fruit. The back end is medium in length and makes me reach for more from the glass. This wine needs to be chilled and served as an aperitif with some charcuterie along with olives and nuts. I like this oxidative style of sherry and am giving this $30 offering 91 points. 4 stars.

  In der Nase recht komplex mit getrocknetem Steinobst (Pflaumen, Aprikosen, Datteln), etwas Kaffee, etwas Kakao. Dazu Jod, Rauch, Vanille, Toffee und vieles anderes mehr zu entdecken über Tage.
  
  Am Gaumen tatsächlich sehr trocken, sehr ölig, mit Salz und auch deutlich alkoholischer Wärme. Recht pikant, und dann wieder mit viel dunkler Schokolade und etwas Kaffee.
  
  Sehr lang.
  
  Ein Glas schaff ich davon am Abend, dann bin ich satt. Der lässt sich aber auch sehr gut über eine lange Zeit trinken.

  On the tour, this was the best Jerez of the bunch. Free of any flaws, it was clean, though not exactly inspiring, but decent.
