Smoky caramel-mocha nose shows broom straw and bamboo, vanilla bean, graphite, tea biscuit, cardamom, cinnamon-apple, attic nutmeg and cilantro. Rich and chocolate-y mouthfeel with warm cinnamon heat is exemplary. First taste puts the dully oaken nose to shame for insufficient suggestion. This thing brings a support beam of heavy oak in abundance. Cedar, pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, allspice, tobacco; the gangs all here. Coffee is the magnet in the middle; two sugars, black, a millisecond before the heavy cream and drizzled caramel. Buckwheat, buckthorn, and dried pineapple are the lightning in this dark storm. Add ginger and dried lime and a drop of Fernet Branca and you’ve nailed it. Don Quixote used to nip this for breakfast. #brandy #cardinalmendoza #spanishbrandy #brandydejerez #soleragranreserva #jerez #sanchezromatehermanos #sanchezromate #grapespirit — 4 years ago
Avocado oil, Buerre Blanc, hazelnuts, warm, fig bread, baked breadfruit, and a chocolate brandy scent. Almonds and hazelnut oil, grape seed, and green olive with a creamy finish. #sherry #manzanilla #jerez — 8 years ago

Memorable. Mincemeat, roasted winter fruits. So many wines of this type are simple and cloying. This ain’t that. #valdespino #moscatel #jerez — 6 years ago
God only knows how old this mini bottle was? It was so smooth and delicious. I honestly believe that now is a wonderful time to invest in Jerez wines. They age forever and I believe they will get more and more expensive as their market decreases each year. Also there are less artisans and wineries willing to do the work and have the patience. #amontillado #jerez #sherryporn #sherrylover — 4 years ago
Impressive #pedroximenez #sherryporn #jerez #sherrylover it has such a drink ability and a purity of flavors. I love it because it has less body (while still having quite a lot of body) than other #px long long finish — 5 years ago
This manzanilla brand is now owned by Bodegas y Vinedos Diez Merito.
Classic roasted almond, salty, green herb aromas. Decisively dry, persistent and long.
Coming soon to the @GrapesofSpain portfolio.
