Tasting Notes:
A deep mahogany hue signals the luxurious richness of this sherry. The nose is intensely aromatic, with pronounced notes of raisins, sun-dried grapes, and a touch of caramel. On the palate, it is lusciously sweet yet remarkably balanced, avoiding cloying heaviness. The velvety texture leads to a long, indulgent finish, making it a sought-after treat for sherry enthusiasts. Pair with blue cheese, dark chocolate, or enjoy as a dessert wine to experience its full opulence.
