Almond flavors and a slightly salty finish give this Sherry its appetizing edge. James Suckling’s review adds dried apple, pear and lemon zest to the salty, yeasty profile, describing a generous yet very dry palate with a refreshing touch of austerity.

Expert Review

James Suckling, 90 Points: This is the prototypical fino sherry with all the salty and yeasty character you expect. Also dried-apple, pear and lemon-zest character. Generous, but very dry and salty on the palate with a refreshing touch of austerity. Where are the olives? Drink now, if possible from a freshly opened bottle.
