González Byass Nutty Solera Medium Oloroso Sherry

Description

Another arch-classic bottling from González-Byass, medium-sweet as advertised, balanced by the pleasantly bitter-nutty-caramelized flavours of such long, oxidative barrel ageing. The finish lingers on and on, and complexity is excellent in the category. Enjoy lightly chilled with cured ham and hard cheeses, or slow-braised game dishes with lots of matching umami. Tasted January 2024. (John Szabo, MS,winealign.com)

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)
