Gattera Barolo Nebbiolo

Fantastic Barolo - lighter and silkier than most Barolos, but plenty of tannins, dark fruit and mild tobacco for a nice balance and complexity — 8 years ago

Inocente Macharnudo Vineyard Fino Palomino Fino

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

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

Tio Pepe 'Fino En Rama' Jerez-Xérès-Sherry Palomino Fino

Very good quality with a solid expression of its provenance and a good length. Bruised apples, yeast, bread, iodine and a dry chalkiness puts this right where it belongs a good concentration on the palate which could last longer. As all serious sherries it is performing well above its price which takes you the question that everyone ask themselves, why don’t I drink more sherry? — 6 years ago

Manzanilla de Sanlúcar de Barrameda Palomino Fino
