TASTING NOTE: Having previously admitted a bias for dessert style sherries, there's good reason -- the ratio of quality to price is just so high. This wine has intense aromas of caramel and toffee, backed up with dried nuts, raisins and dates. The first impression is 'cr�me brul�e in a glass'. The palate is sweet but not cloying, with plenty of warmth and good length. It'll be a pleasant surprise if you have not yet enjoyed a well-made dessert sherry. Score: 4 stars out of 5 (Mark Tandan, winecurrent.com, Jan. 17, 2009)
