Gutierrez Colosia

Amontillado Seco Jerez-Xérès-Sherry Palomino Fino

Fantastic entry-level Amontillado by Gutiérrez Colosia, located right by the sea in El Puerto de Santa María. Approximately 9 years of aging in the solera system. Dark amber color. Elegant nose with caramel, citrus (tangerine, orange zest), nuts. Sea breeze and smoky notes. Medium-bodied, saline, tasty. Long finish, hazelnuts flavors. Great value — 3 years ago

The Standish Wine Company

The Relic Shiraz Blend

WEA tasting. 1% Viognier but I’m not intense enough to tell. Smells almost creamier/ more subtle, not crazy tannins. Mala pepper. Blackberries/ black fruit — 4 years ago

Bodegas Hidalgo

Wellington 20 Years VOS Palo Cortado Sanlúcar de Barrameda Palomino Fino

VOS (very old Sherry), 100% Palominofrom the estate’s vineyards in Pago de Miraflores in Sanlúcar (just 3km. from the Atlantic Ocean) and Balbaína in El Puerto de Santa María, also exposed to the Poniente winds from the Atlantic. Due to this Atlantic influence, wines from these Pagos tend to be lighter, more delicate than those further inland, and this is a great example. Delicate, elegant nose with aromas of orange peel, raisins and a hint of spices. Slightly salty (clealy Sanlúcar). Persistent, hazelnuts — 3 years ago

Storm Wines

Kingsley Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2021

I could smell this for days. Grapefruit, lemon peel, juniper, peach, sea water, grass. It keeps evolving. Palate is clean with just enough body to make it interesting but not heavy. This got better with time in the bottle. Outstanding! — 2 years ago
