Wine Tasting Group - Sherry/Madeira - Mar. 10, 2019 (My house): From the cellars of Gaspar Florido / Pedro Romero in SanLucar. Saca of Jan 2014. From wines between 55 - >80 yo. 22% abv. Opened ~18 mo ago. Incredibly intense and concentrated - even more so than EN No 47. Tart grapefruit, intense bitter walnut skins, nuts, pronounced dark roast coffee beans, some seaweed and a hint of sweet molasses. So intense. Complex. Almost every facet dialed up to 11. Not for the faint of heart.

Excellent for sure, with a very bitter nut-skin and toffee note. Very dry and a bit more austere than I remember my last bottle being. Good length, but quite mouth-drying. I think I should try this with cheese rather than by itself.

More austere than I expected. Long finish with pecan, wood, caramel and fig. Modest but fine acid on the palate. To my palate, less complexity than the best amontillados. 93-94

Equipo Navazos Tasting with Jesus Barquin and Eduardo Ojeda at Morrell Wine Co.: single cask, 90+ years old. toffee, nutty with salty crunch on the nose. intense to the max. this wine bites back, bright fresh acidity and mineral notes, layers of nuts and dry fruit. long salty finish with dry apricot and a touch of fig. excellent.

About the same as last bottle. Its very extreme. Good nose but the taste is shockingly salty. Which detracts for me. This wine is simply beyond.
