quite flat, a little maderised as well, muted. There is also a little meaty/rotten vegetable note here. Based on previous tastings I'd say this is flawed. What a pity

Mid mahogany colour, caramel to the fore on the nose and palate, not heavy in the mouth, clean on the finish, medium intensity of flavour, a good example of amontillado without real excitement

Pale amber colored with high viscosity (18.5% ABV). The nose has intense aromas of yeast, lemon peel, hazelnuts, saline and dried orange. The palate is dry with medium acidity and a full body. A combination of Biological and Oxidative aging gives this wine a unique flavor profile- nutty, it features desiccated fruit with saltiness and a citrus twist. It's a real treat to drink this aperitif wine that finishes long with a yeasty note on the back end. 90 points for this $18 effort makes it a 5 star wine to sip with charcuterie.

Dark amber, medium intensity. Nose of nuts, figs, citrus. On the palate dry, medium acidity, slim body. Hazelnuts, figs, orange zest. Nutty long aftertaste. Salivating.

(NV Emilio Lustau Sherry Amontillado "Los Arcos" (375ml)) Hello friends. Well-reviewed wine from a knockout year that’s eight years past vintage and under fifteen dollars? Only in Spain. Seems like many of our best and most outrageous deals come from the Iberian Peninsula. Originally offered May 19, 2013. Excerpts from the original: For many of us sherry lovers, Amontillados are the pinnacle, because they combine the delicacy of fino with the complexity that oxygen imparts. Amontillado is where salty meets nutty. People who like peanut butter should like Amontillado. So what does it taste like? A bowlful of salted nuts (cashew, pecan), overlain with layers of marzipan and light lemony citrus. You get to taste the influence of both the biological (saline yeasty flor notes) and the oxidative (salt caramel) aging here, and the balance is sublime. Wine Advocate: Copyrighted material withheld.
