I don't have a ton of experience with this style of wine, but I'm so glad it exists. The rancio/fresh fruit qualities are almost perfectly balanced. I'd gladly pick it over 90% of tawny Ports in the same price realm. — 11 years ago

Robe dorée - nez sur l'ananas et le miel - une pointe de rancio en bouche, en plus d'une acidité soutenue et d'une longueur notable. Top! — 12 years ago

Aromas of mushrooms, underbrush, cassis, blackberries, old leather boots, volate acidity, crushed stones, and black pepper. Rustic, dirty, earthy, dark fruits, leather, dark chocolate, and some rancio notes. Weak but some rustic beauty to it. — 12 years ago

Dry, nutty, rancio,......cooked,....bad wine in the greatest way! Great acidity to cut the mild sweetness. — 11 years ago

Darroze Chateau de Gaube 1970 (2013) 43 year old.

Give the bottle a couple months after you open it and then let it sit in the glass. Take your time. A bit of rancio. — 11 years ago

There is no substitute for time! Rancio complexity and gentle walnut flavors... Wow! — 12 years ago

Rene Barbier jr.'s rancio that he collected from old forgotten priorat family stashes--lived up to the promise, incredible bone dry sherry character, so good. — 13 years ago

The best Amontillado I've had so far. Really long lasting flavor profile of dried/sweet nuts, rancio, fresh cut sugar cane, saltiness, and baked apples. — 11 years ago

Fun. Rancio flavor very dominant. Not great for happy-wine palates. 34EUR at Gal. Lafayette — 11 years ago

Smooth, elegant, nutty, sweet, rancio. This is spectacular sherry/Madeira! The best Texas wine there is, hands down. Like a mouthful of dry pecans but sweet and acidic at the same time. Worth every penny! — 12 years ago
