Almacenista Pata de Gallina Oloroso Palomino Fino
An all time favorite, full of walnut depth, fabulous complexity and length. I think I have impacted the world supply of this great oloroso!

3 people found it helpfulOct 29th, 2014Deep amber color with beguiling and complex aromas of roasted walnuts, toffee, molasses, coffee flavors with hints of of orange zest and baking spice aromas. On the palate it's medium-bodied with very good acidity, and an appealing oily mouth feel with dried dates, raspberry juice, sweet coffee, seawater, lemon zest, and iodine flavors with a long finish.

Mar 2nd, 2016Deep bench of flavor on a wine like this. Nuts, wax, toffee, coffee. Even better with notoriously hard-to-pair food like cauliflower or asparagus.

2021/4. Intensely and rich, with lot of raisins, brandied fruit, and walnuts - but also a wonderful balancing acidity to keep things bright. Just a hint of rancio on the finish.
