Fernando de Castilla Palo Cortado NV
Sherry Jerez - Manzanilla, SpainWines over thirty years old go into this blend, though the producer chooses not to use VORS labelling. This carries a gentle weight on the palate, with the Palo Cortado cushion of glycol adding heady complexities to this layered, mesmerizing blend. Scents of subtle caramel, sun-warmed wood, earthy tobacco, wild herbs, roasted walnuts, hazelnuts, flaked dark salts throughout the dry, savoury body to an exceptional finish. Roast pork tenderloin, duck would suit very well.Tasted: 23 September 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:AB | $68.00 | 500ml |
