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. — 7 years ago

NV | I am not thát fond about PX but this Lustau blew me away. Luscious smell, multi layered with dates and currants, very vibrant and elegant. It might be that the combination with an Italian chocolate cake, raspberries and berries contributed to my high appreciation. Happiness ☺️. Fantastic effort, very balanced — 5 years ago
2020/4 as an aperitif with mussels, and with feijoada, Basque-style roast pork, etc.
This bottle was particularly woody and dry, but still with that caramel depth. A little rancid but not too much. — 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

Dark amber, very dry, high acidity, light-medium bodied. Toasted almonds, bitter green olives, a little oily, saline finish. You could probably drink this with just about any food and be in a good place. — 5 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. — 9 years ago

Super nerdy producer who revives ancient (and often unnamed, such as in this case) Friuli varieties for production. This was medium + bodied with very slightly cooked red and black fruit, dried herb, smoky charcoal and wet concrete aromas and flavors. Medium tannins and medium-high acid create a structure that shows best with food (grilled duck leg quarters tonight). More substantial that I expected, and while I would have guessed this was Italian had I had it blind, I wouldn’t have had any idea which variety it was. Cool wine for sure - want to try more from this producer. — 5 years ago
