Emilio Lustau
East India Solera Sherry Palomino Fino Pedro Ximénez
This wine has a burnished look, deep brown. The nose is a treat all on its own. There are aromas of brown sugar, coffee and orange zest which combine for an amazing olfactory experience. The palate is just as joyful, with caramel, raisin and mocha notes. The acidity is fresh and exhilarating. Although the wine is described on the label as “cream,” it does not strike me as creamy. The viscosity is nice, though. It will pair well with dessert, or serve as one by itself.

Apr 29th, 2021Tastes exactly of what it is--80% Oloroso and 20% Pedro Ximenez. Great maderized notes, caramel, acid, balanced. Ideal for when you're craving a PX but would prefer to avoid the diabetes.
