González Byass Nutty Solera Medium Oloroso Sherry

Description

The nose is all about toasted nuts, mocha, caramel, clove and allspice. The palate, while decidedly sweeter than any Fino or Manzanilla, is nicely balanced by the acidity, making it the ideal sipping sherry. It's not overly complex, but at this price point there's more than enough going on to keep you occupied. It will also, once opened, keep for a couple of weeks in your fridge. So no need to finish it all in one sitting. Score - 4 (out of 5). (Jamie Drummond, goodfoodrevolution.com, Feb. 10, 2017)

Tasting Notes

An exquisite melange of dried fruits, roasted nuts, honey, toffee, mocha and truffly forest floor notes. And that's just the bouquet! On the palate it's medium sweet with clove, walnut oil, espresso, raisins and orange zest. Here's a lovely sipper of immense length and subtlety to enjoy by the fire as you welcome in the days of fall and winter. And it'll keep, with the cork back in, for weeks. Serve all by itself or with cheese, fruit and nuts. Score - 94. (Frank Baldock, winexpress.ca, Fall 2015)
