Like Valdespino’s Fino Inocente and Amontillado Tio Diego, it is sourced from the Macharnudo Alto vineyard, the highest point and probably the most famous vineyard in the Marco de Jerez and made with with specific casks from these Fino and Amontillado rerouted to oxidative aging. Aged for an average of 25 years in the solera system. Beautiful aromas of caramel, orange rind, and iodine. Sharp, precise, quite saline, with flavors of hazelnuts. Very very long finish with lingering hazelnuts — 3 years ago

N: Salty dried butterscotch/caramel, Seashore, old boats, rot in the best of ways.
P: Sweet but no… upon entry, the impression is of something unctuous and sweet, for a bit of a second, then DRY. Yellow and gold flowers/melon,
heady at 16°. Great w baby artichokes and Parm and pan seared Branzino.
Varnish lacquer,
Really fine weirdo stuff. I’ve never splurged for the Quattro Palmas…but….

Nice... A little residual sugar is off putting. But the flavor profile is stellar. And Tio Alvaro says "exceptional for my palate".

Very impressed by the Palmas series, a special release of “en rama” sherries from selected casks from the Tío Pepe solera. Traditionally, cellarmasters in Jerez would mark exceptional casks with a chalk drawing of a palm tree branch (palma in Spanish), potentially adding more branches if those wines continued to show finesse and delicacy as they aged. To make the selection, González Byass’ invites different guests (mostly wine critics and somms) every year, an honor that befell Ferran Centelles (El Bulli) in 2020.

The 2020 Una Palma comes from three casks from the Tio Pepe solera with 6 years of aging under flor, bottled unfined and unfiltered (en rama). Sharp nose with notes of almonds, yeast and hints of citrus. Fresh, mineral and very saline. Much more intense aromas and flavors than the regular Tio Pepe — 3 years ago
