A very fine Trasañejo, a traditional style of fortified, oxidatively aged wines from Maálaga, similar to a Sherry Oloroso. While Oloroso is made with Palomino, Málaga’s Trasañejo are normally made with Muscat and Pedro Ximénez. This particular one is 100% PX from vineyards in the Montes de Málaga subregion (vineyards surrounding the city of Málaga), aged in old American oak botas for an average of 19 years using the solera system. Notes of caramel, butterscotch and salty nuts. Long, savory finish. — 5 years ago

Like Valdespino’s flagship fino, the NV Tío Diego Amontillado is sourced from the famous Macharnudo vineyard in Jerez. Fermented in oak botas, it was aged for a total of 15 years (10 years of biological aging under flor in a solera separated from Inocente followed by another five years of oxidative aging). Elegant nose with aromas nuts, caramel (reminds me of rum). Mineral. Amazing value for a top-quality Amontillado — 5 years ago

Love it: easy to drink, soft, flavorful and a nice medium body. We drank it by itself then added snacks later on. Wine that opens up right from the start and gets smoother throughout. — 6 years ago

Una maravilla. Vino PX de DO Montilla Moriles con muchísimos premios. Hecho de uvas pasificadas; y sistema tradicional de Criaderas y Solera, como mínimo 20 años de crianza en las botas más antiguas de cuando se fundó la bodega. Color azabache; nariz muy intensa a pasas, higos, café y regaliz. Boca soberbia, aterciopelada, intensa, cremosa; sí, es dulce, pero equilibrado; largo y gran retrogusto a chocolate, dátiles y frutos secos. Para tomar solo y meditar; o acompañar de un queso azul intenso!!! — 6 years ago

I really like this agave Coyote. Clean citrus flavors. This is distilled in Barro (clay), which really brings a mineral flavor in the nose and especially in the mouth. Balances out the bitterness of the Mezcal which I really enjoy. June 2014 fermented date. Sola de Vega. — 8 years ago

Monster dark cherries, raspberries and black currents are everywhere. Balance from the mid-palate to finish is filled with a crispy/clean acidity, supple tannins that make your nipples hard, and lots of power finesse. The nose shows surprising elegance with signs of black tea, leather, cloves, dark chocolate, and a unique dust component that makes you feel like your driving down a dusty dirt road. Gracias, Graciano. You made my night complete while watching my Philadelphia Eagles. Cheers! — 10 years ago
