This Sherry has a fiercely crackling, dry attack. The gorgeous nose of hay, beeswax, bamboo, honey, glazed marcona almonds and sesame seeds is intellectually intoxicating. Full in body, with a lightly waxy texture, the wine surprises with a pronounced structure. There’s a salty, mouthwatering effect that enhances the medium acidity and tidies up the high alcohol. The lingering finish—like the rest of the wine—is super sexy and extremely versatile with savory foods. Drink now–2020.
