There’s a special place in my heart for this bottle. It’s the first bottle of really really good sherry I can remember trying and despite years of tasting, it may still be the best. Retrying Tradición Amontillado over a decade later, it’s as spectacular as I remember. I wrote a bunch of notes then deleted them. Too hard to do justice to this beautiful wine.

New Sherry producer for me, wrote seeking this one out as they have access to ancient stocks!

Roasted almond, peach syrup, baked apple, dried green herbs, a touch of balsamic? There's so much going on. I feel like Jack Skellington, "What is this?!" #amontillado #sherry, that's what.

Deep, silky, energetic, intense. What a perfect birthday nightcap.

Flavors for days. High toned, burnt citrus, dried fruits, saline, nutty, tangy. Aggressive at 19.5%...but the complexity of it slays me every time.
