Plum, blackberry, bark, spice, and chalkboard aromas and flavors for this Bordeaux blend. Smooth tannins, medium acidity, decent finish! Had it after polo for a barbecue with friends, which was perfect! — 4 days ago

A sweet nose but a dry wine, as is common for Sherry! Caramel, toasted hazelnut, coffee and tobacco aromas and flavors. Luscious acidity, great combo with cod croquettes! — a month ago

9.0

Aromas and flavors of vanilla, caramel, and olive smoke with an undertone of sage or other herbs. The minerality comes through as graphite or wet granite. The acidity is medium and the tannins are smooth. Very sophisticated, I can imagine it paired with fungi porcini, or truffles, or another wild mushroom dish. — a month ago

The best offering at our local bar. Dark chocolate, prune, vanilla, potting soil, and tobacco aromas and flavors. Good acidity, tannins are medium with decent grip. Lacks elegance. I don’t think there is much more aging potential here, maybe 5 years max. 13.5% alcohol. Not bad, we enjoyed it with Manchego cheese and Jamón serrano. Nice, just not amazing! — 5 days ago

A very dark purple rim, with an almost black center. Lovely aroma of blackberry compote accompanied with dark chocolate, clay pot, and violets. The acidity is a bit more than medium and the tannins are nicely sharp but not too serious. A metallic finish with medium length. The more I sip it, the more I like it! — a month ago

The wines from Ronda tend to be quite earthy due to the heavily weathered limestone presence in the soil. This wine incorporates this deep minerality nicely with black fruit aromas and flavors, and a spiciness that brings it all together. Acid is medium plus, tannins are smooth yet grippy meaning this will age, although with a nice decant it is drinkable now. — a month ago

A certified organic wine made at 700 meters above sea level. Aromas and flavors of beeswax, peach skins, and red current.
12 % alcohol and a bit of residual sugar. Medium minus acid, but a nice mouthfeel. Paired well with sashimi! — a month ago

Grown in a vineyard next to the sea on granite soils, sobre lías (sur-lie) and allowed to complete a malo-lactic fermentation. Aromas and flavors of peach, apricot, honeysuckle, grapefruit, and dough. Very well-balanced, 13% alcohol, juicy acidity and lovely mouthfeel. Delightful! — 11 days ago

9.4

Lovely golden sparkle to this amazing Sherry, from Bodegas Tradición. Aromas of buttery caramel, toffee, and pecans, with a hint of something fruity and sweet, like orange marmalade. Super smooth body/mouthfeel with ripe acidity. An incredibly long length that takes you through many stages of flavor, like the ever-changing bubblegum in Willie Wonka. From Candied oranges to pecan pie, to buttered toast and finally bitter almond. But you don’t turn into a blueberry at the end, like in the movie, or at least I didn’t! — 19 days ago

Very subtle aromas of apricot, camomile and mango. This wine is nicely dry and acidic, and because it is aged sur lie it has a lovely creamy mouthfeel. A slightly nutty finish. Very elegant! — a month ago
