  Belle robe ambrée foncée. Un nez de caramel, de noix, de pâte d'amande et une touche oxydative. Une bouche sur le même registre avec un alcool discret.

  This is now classified as "medium" rather than "Oloroso", since it is not a dry wine. Not however too sweet in reality either. This is just a good entry level Sherry that can be consumed alone or with appetizers or desserts. So it is versatile but not terribly distinctive. There is more depth here than in Bristol Cream, in my opinion, so the value proposition is solid.

  WSET Week 9 Fortified + Hard Liquor (Downtown Vancouver [AI School]): I dont know how to score a wine like this since I have no real experience in Sherry.
  
  C: Med+ Amber
  A: Med+ Intensity
  Orange Peel, Molasses, Nutty, Salty Dried Fish[Anchovies]
  Opening Up a bit
  
  T: Med Sweet, Med Body, Long Finish
  Soy Sauce, Hoisin, Seasme Oil, Citrus Acid
  
  Conclusion: I did enjoy this, the hoisin flavour kinda of put me off but after about an hr or so it opened up beautifully with those Umami notes!

  Tasted Blind - Medium amber in colour, clear throughout. Nose of dried prunes and raisins, nuts, toffee, sweet spice, salty notes as well. Medium sweetness, medium acidity, medium body. Palate similar to nose. 20 second finish. Excellent. Note: this is my first experience with Sherry.

  Amber-brown; walnuts, almonds, brandied prunes; nutty, slightly sweet, medium body, long slightly bitter finish.
  The sweetness was well-balanced with the other components. Went well with nuts...surprise!
