Deep amber to walnut, darker than most amontillados - some vino de color probably, legs.
Nose
Quite fat, and more like oloroso, and a little dumb from colouring and sweetening wines presumably. Nicely controlled oxidation, quite full, traces dried fruit and walnut.
Palate
Oloroso surely, quite tangy, less sweet than nose, but certainly sweetness there - and not much of it is PX. It is actually quite a pleasant wine , and definitely suitable for "medium" drinkers, but is never amontillado.
Comments
Classic "Medium (dry) Sherry". By no means the worst of its breed, but not amontillado. I wish the Consejo would ban use of the A word for wines which are simply not A. It is they after all who want to promote Sherry for its quality. Still, this wine is cheap, and thus good value for what it is.Price
£ 6.49
