Una decente aproximación de bajo coste al concepto de cream. De color caoba de capa media. Nariz golosa, avellanas caramelizadas, uva pasa, duelas envinadas, especias dulces... En boca tiene buen ataque, untuoso, con dulzor bastante intenso, suaves amargos, recuerdos a pasas en licor y bastante longitud.

Clear, medium intensity, brown, tears, no deposit. Nose: clean, medium+ intensity, main note - roasted haselnuts; some butter, flor, raisin, plum, dried apple, pear and peach, cigar, caramel; fully developed. Palate: sweet, acidity med, alcohol high, body med, intensity med+, same aromas like in nose, finish med. Good, drink now, not suitable for aging. After the opening, was keeping for 1 year, every time returned, was alive and plesant. Riga, Spirits&Wines, 15$, 1L, 19.5%, Oloroso+PX.

For such a young wine this is actually quite good. Simple, but round and fruity, with all the chocolate, walnut, caramel notes you could want but not too sticky. Very easy to drink. If this is the style you're going for, it's a nice wine.

Light brown-copper with amber reflections. Medium-high intensity nose, iodine, raisins, dried figs, chocolate, caramel and coffee. Good attack, sweetness is very well balanced by a pleasant acidity, wide, fills the mouth, long evolution, tasty, alcohol is perfectly integrated, medium-high body. Long aftertaste of high intensity with hazelnut notes. It may lack a bit of complexity and elegance, but it's still a very interesting wine with an unsurpassable QPR.

Nose of toasted hazelnuts with a hint of cream on the finish. The palate is driven by nuts, with a hint of cream and a good caramel finish. The whole is completed by a very nice acidity that cleans most of the palate but still allows a bit of caramel to stay through on the long finish. Another good sweet sherry.

Light brown with intensity and some lightly reddish hints. Hazelnut and chestnuts with light salt air and wood.Medium to heavey on the palate with a strong alcohol presence and high acidity. The sweetness isn't syrupy but rather light with flavors of carmel, coffee, light apricot, raisen and wood flavors. Actually though the alcohol is rather warm I really enjoy the acidty in this making it feel fresh and alive. Quite tasty for an entry level sherry. 3/5

Andalucia, mainly Sherry (Tradicion/Lustau/Barbadillo); 9/12/2018-9/26/2018 (Malaga-Cordoba-Carmona-Arcos-Jerez): Sweet, weak, artificial, confected grandma-sherry with numbing 19,5% alc and all the refinement of an Opel Corsa. Amazing how people mistake chemistry for the Real Thing. 77P, max

Très sucré. Plus approprié pour le dessert que comme apéro. Un peu lourd et pataud...
