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

Almonds and honey on the nose. Slightly tart and round body. Cherries, agave nectar. Juicy. — 6 years ago
Delicious Oloroso. Toasted walnut with a hint of orange peel. — 6 years ago
Exceptional single-vineyard Manzanilla. Bone dry with an agile depth and weight. After 12-14 years in the solera this has a nearly endless finish. Aged manchego, chorizo, Andalusian tripe - versatile and dramatically lovely — 8 years ago
What you get for the extra $10 (and 250ml less) from Emperatriz Eugenia is massive compared to the entry Don Nuno (both Oloroso). Depth, complexity, something to think about.
Mahogany caramel colored with aromas of sandalwood and sweet dates. Winey sweet palette of dried figs, golden raisins, and burnt toffee. — 6 years ago
Incredibly good! This is a young amontillado, some would call it amontillado fino, with 9 years in solera. The style is fresh, young, and flavorful. Beautiful light amber color with notes of orange peel, pecans, hazelnuts, a bit of toffee and some hints of yeast. Young amontillado doesn’t get any better than this. NV on Feb 12, 2019 — 6 years ago
Singed wood, dried tobacco, bitter almond, this has a lot to give. — 6 years ago
Dry but not too sour. Sip for the aroma and the loooong finish. I am not a sherry expert, but this is elegant. — 7 years ago

Saca 2018. Lite fruktigare än gemene fino. Torkade russin. — 6 years ago
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! — 6 years ago
Typical manzanilla: chamomile, yeast and seashells, dry and light — 7 years ago
