Tio Pepe 'Fino En Rama' Jerez-Xérès-Sherry Palomino Fino
Very good quality with a solid expression of its provenance and a good length. Bruised apples, yeast, bread, iodine and a dry chalkiness puts this right where it belongs a good concentration on the palate which could last longer. As all serious sherries it is performing well above its price which takes you the question that everyone ask themselves, why don’t I drink more sherry?

Jul 31st, 2019Very nice indeed with a good concentration on both on the nose and palate and a good acidity that is keeping the wine fresh throughout,. A pronounced complexity with almonds, marzipan and yeast and a defined salty minerality. 2018 edition

This en Rama bottling was fantastic, close to Amontillado richness and complexity, but all Fino refreshment!
