Flight 1 (2 Notes)

  • NV Gonzalez-Byass Jerez-Xérès-Sherry Nutty Solera Oloroso 89 Points

    Spain, Andalucía, Jerez-Xérès-Sherry

    I dont know how to score a wine like this since I have no real experience in Sherry.

    C: Med+ Amber
    A: Med+ Intensity
    Orange Peel, Molasses, Nutty, Salty Dried Fish[Anchovies]
    Opening Up a bit

    T: Med Sweet, Med Body, Long Finish
    Soy Sauce, Hoisin, Seasme Oil, Citrus Acid

    Conclusion: I did enjoy this, the hoisin flavour kinda of put me off but after about an hr or so it opened up beautifully with those Umami notes!
