Not sure how to rate this one. Dark as night, dense and sweet. Only need 2 oz at a time though it usually leads to more. Stunning dessert sherry. — 11 years ago
Balanced Jerez with good aroma, waits for longer aftertaste — 11 years ago
Valdespino Tio Diego amontillado — 12 years ago
60 year old amontillado sherry, remarkable acid structure still, not for the faint hearted. — 12 years ago
Memorable. Mincemeat, roasted winter fruits. So many wines of this type are simple and cloying. This ain’t that. #valdespino #moscatel #jerez — 7 years ago
Terrfic complexity, walnuts, herbs, woodsy, very long finish. — 7 years ago
Lovely caramel carried by a still bright fruit. — 9 years ago
Never heard of a pale cream before this. Totally worth checking out if you're a sherry enthusiast. — 10 years ago
A.R. Lenoble is a very transparent producer and gives full information about the wine's makeup: 88% grand Cru Chardonnay from Chouilly with 12% still premier cru pinot noir from Bisseuil. Most of the wine is from 2011 with 15% reserve from 2010. The result is a finely honed wine with delicate aromas and deep flavors. There is a stunning elegance to this wine with a strong mineral component that is often overshadowed in more pinot-heavy rosés. This is a very particular wine, more for the connoisseur than the hedonist (not that one can't be both!). Excellent mousse, lovely pale salmon pink color, crisp acidity and a beautiful wine for food. It has great "nerve" and has great quality for the price. — 11 years ago
Unbelievable Overton sherry that tastes like the best tootsie roll ever! — 12 years ago
I would almost drink this on its own. Best vinegar ever. — 12 years ago
La Bota #14... From an 1809 Solera at Valdespino...from Eric Solomon's personal collection — 13 years ago
Mind Blowing! For a fino sherry, the depth and complexity of this wine is unrivaled. This is THE benchmark for all Finos. The previous reviews do a great job describing the taste. This is the only Fino that still follows traditional methods - aged under flor for 8 - 10 years in an oak Solera. Oh - and the palomino grapes all come from a single vineyard as well. Honestly, there is no better fino than this. Drink it with a plate of smoked ham and almonds or some strong tasting sushi. Enjoy! — 7 years ago
Singed wood, dried tobacco, bitter almond, this has a lot to give. — 7 years ago

Since reaching my third decade on this planet, I feel it’s only right to graduate to Sherry. How content I am to be introduced to this smooth talking goat from Valdespino - one of Spain’s oldest Sherry producers. Gold, cloudy and unfiltered. Hold up to the light to discover flecks of pink rose and lime around the edge. A wise nose possessing orange peel, menthol, vanilla essence and grandmas underwear drawer. A spectacular drop, that summons you to drink and think more slowly. I guess that’s why the old birds love it. Pour yourself a Sherry and slow down my friends. — 7 years ago
