Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Even richer is the 2010 Almirez, which comes from a vineyard planted at an altitude of 2,300 feet. Yields were 18 hectoliters per hectare, and the wine was aged 12 months in mostly French oak (30% new). This fabulous, inky/purple-colored wine exhibits notes of violets, graphite, licorice,..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Deep garnet purple color. The nose is a little mute to begin, giving way to restrained aromas of vanilla, violets, dark cherry and black pepper. Though there’s plenty of weight on the palate, an elegant style emerges, finely structured with medium to high acidity and a medium+ level of grainy..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Warm and smooth, with aromas of fresh dill, spiced cherries, mulled earth and more. The palate has a full, stacked feel with well-oaked flavors of vanilla, toffee and earthy berries. Finishes chewy, with complexity and light flavors of caramel and tobacco. Ready to drink."

"Another impressive Oloroso from Gonzalez Byass. This is a sweet, dark, brooding Sherry with prune and other sweet fruit aromas.

"A mind-blowing sherry is the non-vintage Palo Cortado Peninsula Solera Reserva. Like all Lustau sherries except for the East India, it is made from the Palomino varietal. A dry, crisp, full-throttle, intense sherry offering incredibly complex, nutty aromas, it represents a style that falls between..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
This is a wine which is ruby red in colour, with a fairly opaque colour and a notable density. It has an intense aroma, where the scents from the ageing are immediately noticeable: vanilla, cigar box, caramel. On further ..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The dark amber-hued non-vintage East India Solera is essentially an old Oloroso blended with an old Pedro Ximenez, which gives it a sweet character. It offers more mature notes of maple syrup, brown sugar, spice box, raisin and chocolate beer nuts, and its terrific balancing acidity cuts through..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Big and dark, with cola, forest floor and other dark, secure aromas. The palate is young and burly, with ripe blackberry, cola and coffee flavors. As you’d expect, it’s a bit more narrow than Matallana’s top wine, but it’s still round, long and not difficult to like. Classic modern RDD; dark and..
