Drier than expected. Coffee, molasses, chocolate—bittersweet notes dominate, great creaminess and complexity. Stunning. — 3 days ago

Wine of the night for us. Goosebumps. Extraordinary depth and presence. Vital, powerful. As these sherries age, they seem to grow in complexity without any of the effects of old age—no softening or weakness. Brillant wine tasted in the bodega cellar. A memorable experience. — a day ago
