Down to the sea in ships!
Nuts, Olives w brine, baking yeast, a saline delight. Always consistent.
On a 80° early evening, with ersatz Spanish food. Cod in orange and smoked paprika, leftover paella, asparagus…
A winner. Love it. — a year ago

Years ago went to a Valdespino tasting, & learned that Lustau made their sherries from land not owned by them, which was a dis. I gotta say though this Palo Cortado is a thing of beauty, especially for under 23$. — 4 years ago

Intense nose of saltana, raisins, molasses, sardine oil and soy. Insanely luscious with well intergrated spirit. Lacks some complexity and feels like it could've done with further ageing — 7 years ago

Wow. So luscious and caramel, but complex, herbal, mineral and drying. What an amazing vermut & soda this makes.

@Delectable Wine this is the Valdespino Vermouth, thanks. — 2 years ago

I have usually had the good fortune to drink one bottle annually in recent memory. Such a light, fresh palate, which I find typical of Valdespino. Can go with food or without. Medium bodied, if caramel was de sweetened & injected with some mushrooms, kinda on the right flavor path. It’s freshness is its strength — 3 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! — 5 years ago

Since reaching my third decade on this planet, I feel it’s only right to graduate to Sherry. How content I am to be introduced to this smooth talking goat from Valdespino - one of Spain’s oldest Sherry producers. Gold, cloudy and unfiltered. Hold up to the light to discover flecks of pink rose and lime around the edge. A wise nose possessing orange peel, menthol, vanilla essence and grandmas underwear drawer. A spectacular drop, that summons you to drink and think more slowly. I guess that’s why the old birds love it. Pour yourself a Sherry and slow down my friends. — 5 years ago

Lovely off-dry amontillado. Dark brown, nuts and mild spices, almost a madeira-like brown sugar profile. — 8 years ago
