Grape: Listán Blanco; Vintage: 2017

Color: Deep gold to amber around the rim. Why is the color gold for a young wine? *** I don’t know, maybe skin contact, or oxidative wine making style? @brianmcclinticms @envinatewine

Nose: Not floral, not citrus, spices (cinnamon, fennel seeds)

Taste: Good structure, soft acidity throughout, sweet spice taste, interesting that it’s packing quite a bit of tannins for a white wine from mid-palate through long finish. — 6 years ago

This is really good. A little sour with espresso bitterness, but a cashmere mouthfeel and nice lingering finish. Not a ton of fruit, gives the aroma of an older wine despite being a youngish vintage. — 6 years ago

What a fantastic sherry. A rich full texture, crushed hazelnuts that lingers on the finish. My favourite oloroso to date for the price — 9 years ago
I think this is a truly underrated and magnificent Sherry. Yes it's NV ... But drinks like a champ! — 10 years ago
Very sweet, but enjoyed with dessert — 7 years ago
Interesting bottle of Oloroso from the Lustau Almacenista bottlings, intense notes of dates and walnuts, while being bone dry, but it really comes to the fore with a bit of tapas, which softens and sweetens the sherry. Highly complex and fantastic to drink. — 8 years ago
Pale nut-brown. Dry, burnt sugar and vanilla, piercing acidity. Fabulous. — 9 years ago
