Tasting Note: A Palo Cortado Sherry with round, yeasty flavors that wrap around and coat your palate with toasted-bread goodness.
Medium-intensity amber in color, this wine has an aromatic, medium-plus-intensity nose of brioche, bread dough, butter, roasted almonds and walnuts.
On the palate the dry, medium-plus-bodied Palo Cortado Sherry has medium-plus-intensity rancio flavors suggested on the nose supported by medium acidity and completing with a buttery, medium-plus finish.
The wine is rich and elegant with a creamy texture.
The midpalate has depth of flavor and balance.
Bottle Note: 30 Years Old. It is a wine of brilliant mahogany color, hazelnut aroma, dry palate, balanced, elegant and very persistent.
