  December 28, 2008 - Not at all what I was expecting as I was told this was a sherry. I assumed it would be a dry, light on the palate 'fino' and instead....good Lord....an immediate nose of black tobacco (which causes one to pause, ponder the implications) then a thick and viscous wave of raisins, prunes, maple sap and caramel snaps you out of your thoughts. Minutes later you find a ring of drying sweet sap around your lips and you make a move for another sip....and I mean sip....it's impossible to quaff this. It has a depth and complexity I never expected to encounter in a stereotype "sherry" and of course calling it sherry is a misnomer. It's from Montilla-Moriles.
