This is a relatively inexpensive bottle of sherry (I paid $10 on sale). Light golden in color. The nose is very nice; nuts, slight caramel, slight saline and of course "Sherried". On the palate, this is dry. Nutty with some caramel notes. A bit of bitterness. Some alcohol. Deep and texture. Contemplative. Long finish. Great value. It really does perform much better with salty foods.

Sherries are to a particular taste. Very Old Rare Sherries may even be more so due to the cost. Personally, I love them. This bottle was consumed over three days. It was at its best on day 3 (wine was corked and stored on the counter). Gorgeous color of shimmering light brown/gold/orange. Clear and bright in the glass. On the nose, this is so complex. Caramel, tootsie rolls, some alcohol, camphor/iodine, and minerals. Complex. On day 2 and 3, the alcohol is less noticeable. It is oxidized but doesn't offend (me).

On the palate, this is dry as a bone. drinking on its own is not a fun experience. But, add some salty foods and the pairing is transformative. A nuttiness with a dry acidity that is refreshing. It is best with oilves, nuts and cracker
This is a dessert wine/sherry. Made from the Pedro Ximénez grape. Brown in color. The nose smells like a tootsie-roll which is nice. Chocolate, confectionery sugar. This pours like motor oil; thick and viscous. On the palate, the tootsie-roll quality continues thru. Slightly sweet. Good acidity. No need for food, this is a dessert on its own. It is a tough food match. This wine is made from a Solera method with theoretically some portion of the wine dating to 1927. It is unclear how much and this tastes young.
