  100% PX, 8-10 years in American Oak, 19% ABV
  A blue cheese aroma, palate is more nut focused and has a light level of tannin. CASHEW.
  Flor will disappear after 10-12 years and then this would become an Amontiillado.

  Loved this - paired so, so well with crab cakes, and then even better with a big chunk of aged manchego. Nose was superb - ocean salinity galore.

  The nose is lightly nutty, saline. The palate follows that and is a little richer than is typical of finos that I have had from Jerez. But still very dry and with a medium+ saline finish. It's pleasant enough, but for me a bit one-dimensional.
  
  However, I suspect my impression here is suffering because I'm tasting it alongside the same producer's spring 2017 fino en rama with 3 years of bottle age, which has developed hugely more flavour and complexity.
  
  I have very limited experience of Montilla-Moriles wines, so I hestitate to put a rating into the system, but my gut feeling is 86-87.

  Un très bon Jerez mais assez loin de l'idée que je me fais d'un Fino. Beaucoup plus foncé et avec au nez des notes d'érable et de noix rôties qu'on retrouvent aussi en bouche. D'un style boisé et oxydatif qui convient mieux à mon avis à une fin de repas qu'en apéro. Finale longue et complexe. Sec mais appelle plus les fromages ou les desserts au noix que les tapas habituels qu'on serviraient à l'apéro.

  Nariz bien perfilada, con sensaciones punzantes, acetaldehidos, algo de barniz, fruta blanca madura y toques de hinojo. En boca seco, pasa luido pero con materia, fresco, bastante largo y con un toque anisado al final de la boca.
