Appearance
Bright pale strawy gold, legs.
Nose
Light and fresh, touches seaside, almond, quince, flor and slight traces of dried apricot and bread with just the slightest hint of Marmite, soft.
Palate
Middle weight soft and very smooth. Less "punzante" (sharp pungent attack) than some, dry, low acid and easy but quite classy with all the flavours offered by the nose plus some Palomino fruit. Good length with some charm and presence.

A blog and review on all things Sherry. It is about tasting, enjoyment and learning more about the World’s Finest Wine. "Sherry is a thoroughbred" as Javier Hidalgo rightly puts it. Included are the amazing local Brandies and the remarkably good table wines also produced in the province of Cádiz.
