Toffee, salted caramel, burnt rubber, dried orange peel, and espresso. Dry with ripe attack. Hope everyone gets to taste something like this VOS Oloroso.

I could sniff the empty bottle all night. Oloroso in bed with Netflix and a plate of fried chicken works wonders on a Thursday.

2021 late summer. Classic oloroso - rich, intense and layered, with dried and candied fruit, walnuts, and plenty of mineral spine. Dry, but lush as opposed to severe

Spectacular. A thousand layers of caramel toffee, date, hazelnut, and acorn. Nutty and smells like sweets, but relatively dry and winey with salty accents.
