I wish this style was more common. Combines everything there is to love about fino sherry (salty, nutty, oxidative) in a lower alcohol package at 11.5%. — 9 years ago
Taberna Maitea. Copa 4,50.

Creamy and bone dry, hinting at sweetness but finishing bitter, saline .
The nose isn’t huge but the palate is.
Delish.

Great taste. Not dry. Smooth with a hint of blackberry. Ideally paired with a medium rare steak. — 9 years ago
Something really special given it is only the third Palo Cortado from the butts of the solera under oxidative aging. Medium body herby aromatics from Jerez — 9 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. — 6 years ago

Ambar pálido con cierta turbiedad. Espectacularmente aromática. Frutos secos, miel y bajamar. Fresca, salina y muy muy persistente. Perfecta para maridajes atrevidos. — 9 years ago

Light on the nose, but a full character of a cabernet. Buttery and smooth.
Sour+sweet notes and a nice, strong finish with tannins. A good blend, not much specific flavor profiles.
Paired with roasted salmon, wild rice, and sauteéd greens.
Paired with a cheesesteak.
Paired with cassoulet
Very drinkable. Aerated somewhat upon dispensing. — 5 years ago
