This sherry is rosy brown in the glass, coating legs. Nose is hazel and Brazil nuts, earthy vegetal red wine, and a whiff of alcohol. In the mouth, tart chardonnay, crisp and yet savory, oak and minerals. Finish is sweet, turning to dry and light and mineral clean. Really nice sipping, and outstanding in cocktails... which is really why I keep sherry... besides cooking... but this might convince me to drink it when I don't feel like a heavier alcohol.
