The Guia Peñín team
feel that Sherry is getting even better and speak of it in reverential tones. After the first of two days of tasting
high marks have already been awarded to Sherry, which already has the best
average Peñín score of over 90 and has done for the past decade. Team leader
and director of Peñín, Carlos González, feels that the quality of Sherry is still
improving and that is reflected in the higher marks awarded. He says that it is
beyond doubt that Sherry for its difference and its sheer quality is totally
unique. “It would be very hard to find a region so different and with such a
high level of quality” he said, “its soul and magic are incomparable”. He went
on to say that “we are aware of the mini-revolution Sherry is undergoing in the
search for differentiation between the pagos” and he is encouraging the big
bodegas of the region to follow the path already taken by small, young producers
because “these wines need to be bottled”. Scores and tasting notes will not be available till the next edition of the Guide is published.
