  March 10, 2023 - Plenty of smoke, turf, caramel and bitter almonds with decent intensity and precision. Fruit of bitter orange. This was quite interesting, but the palate was unfortunately rather flat, not showing the same level of complexity with a difficult, rough texture.

  March 8, 2023 - This is my first Palo Cortado style sherry. It looks divine- pale amber in the glass. The nose offers up nuts, yeasty notes from Flor, caramel and toffee with dried orange rind. It has quite a bitter entry with exotic flavors I have never come across. Dry with medium (+) acidity and a full body, this wine coats my mouth with tangy yeast and nuts with a citrus twist. It’s unique for sure and offers a glimpse into another style of winemaking that is quite different- google Palo Cortado, you’ll see what I mean. The fortification of this wine makes it a touch hot on the back end but I am really enjoying the nutty finish with that very singular Flor component. I paid $26 to get this bottle- it rated 90 with the pros, who am I to argue? 4 stars. Drink upon opening

  December 10, 2022 - Nutty, toffee, salty and tangy. Medium bodied, long iodine finish. Delicious.

  November 14, 2022 - Just a gloriously nose of raisins, caramel, walnut and orange peel. The wine is dry, a little salty, nutty with a chocolate topnote. Finishes long. Very enjoyable and lasted about a week in the fridge without any problems.
