My rating is for the overall of today’s Sherry masterclass flight.
I’ve been introduced to a whole new world.

4 years of biological aging filled by another four years of aging after the yeast kill. Hazelnut. Great pairing for game.

Clear medium amber; medium intensity aldehydic aromas of dried orange peel, candied fruit, cloves, yeasty dough, caramel, hazelnut, tobacco, cedar, toast; dry, medium acid, medium alcohol, medium body, medium intensity flavors of butterscotch, caramel, cedar, tobacco, toast, spiced orange peel, medium plus finish; very good due to complex layering of flavors

My favourite style of Sherry so I’m biased. I really enjoy the unusual blend of fine herbs, brine, and chamomile that mingles with toffee, toasted coconut, and hazelnut

One of the tastiest combos around -- Amontillado #sherry and cashews. Either alone is not as good as the mix of both. Great wine but watch the temp...no good cold.

Good structure, basenotes. Lacking finesse.
