Contrabandista Medium Dry Amontillado Blend Jerez-Xérès-Sherry Palomino Fino Pedro Ximénez

Rich w touch of sweetness. Great complexity; walnuts spice dried fruits

Has a lushness & deep, amber glow to a host of tertiary flavors including butterscotch & mushrooms. In contrast to Valdespino s standard Amontillado, which is a fresh young thing. Think this is the middle aged brother, a bit wiser $ snappy. For less than 25$, yowza.

16.5/20 (91/100)

Did someone say sherryfest?

Coffee and toffee on the nose. Nicely mineral and fresh on the palate. Quite good.

16/20

No better remedy for the bad day than this well balanced and seductive sherry accompanied by Seamus Mullen's delicious tapas at El Colmado
