    December 1, 2023 - great with pizza, great on its own. infinitely savory and nutty and the finish just goes on forever.

    July 20, 2019 - Dry but round. Obvious sherry-notes and lovely length. Close to 60sec. It's all about the walnuts.

    April 7, 2019 - Wow, wow y wow. De verdad esto solo vale 100€/botella? Si esta botella estuviera hecha en Francia valdría 500€.

    Nariz espectacular, velo de flor, ahumados, especiados. Puro Jerez.

    En boca es mejor aún, largo, punzante, amaderados, retronasal a brandy noble. Largo a más no poder.

    October 24, 2017 - XVIII Salón de los Mejores Vinos de España -Peñín; 10/23/2017-10/24/2017 (IFEMA - Madrid): Less impressed than the first time. It maintains that depth and those smokes, but in my modest opinion it has lost some of that initial magic.
    I noticed it more directly, too marked by yeast and wood on the nose. Always better on the palate where that long final bitterness is the undisputed champion.
    I could not find out when this Amontillado was bottled.

    Me impresionó bastante menos que la primer vez. Mantiene esa profundidad y esos ahumados pero en mi modesta opinión ha perdido parte de esa magia inicial.
    Lo noté más directo, demasiado marcado por la levadura y por la madera en nariz. Siempre mejor al paladar donde ese larguísimo amargor final es el campeón indiscutible.
    No pude enterarme de cuándo fue embotellado este Amontillado.

    August 29, 2016 - The nose is elegant and subtle, but also very intense, hard to grasp. Earth and peat, prominent woody notes, candied oranges. In the mouth, this was way too intense for me. The alcohol, the acidity, the oily thickness, the overwhelming attack of all kinds of aromas. This is a wine to sip just a glass of over an entire evening. It's a fantastic wine, but nothing to just drink. This requires lots of attention.
