Vinous, Josh Raynolds
(4/2019) "Light, brassy amber color. Displays kaleidoscopic aromas of apricot nectar, toffee, orange zest, brown butter, toasted nuts and dried fig, plus a hint of salty minerality. Thick, weighty and sweet, with a spine of juicy acidity giving support to deeply concentrated, palate-coating pit fruit liqueur, fig paste, toffeed apple and orange marmalade flavors. Lingers with superb persistence on the expansive finish, which emphatically echoes the apricot and toffee notes. (made from vines that were planted in 1885; 45 kilograms of fruit used per half bottle; 512 g/l residual sugar and 5% alcohol) Drinking Window: 2019 - 2047"

Jorge Ordonez "Old Vines No.3" Malaga Moscatel 2014
The numbers on this "home project" from famed importer Jorge Ordonez are staggering. 353g/L RS, 9g/L TA, only 4.53% ABV. These hyper-sweet half-bottles each filled with the soul of 60 pounds of grapes is wine-geek heaven. 40% off the Wine Advocate Reference Price.

(3/1/2018) "Made all from dried Moscatel grapes, the 2014 No 3 Vinas Viejas was aged 8 months sur lie in larger 600-liter French oak barrels. Medium gold colored with powerful notes of orange blossom, honey apricot, creme caramel, and jasmine, this incredible wine takes 60 pounds of grapes to make a single bottle and had to be declassified as it only hit 5% alcohol. Despite a motor oil like consistency, it stays balanced and graceful, and keeps you coming back to the glass, which can be rare for a wine of this size. It's a singular, awesome dessert wine I wish I could pour for every reader."

Emilio Lustau "San Emilio" Pedro Ximenez Sherry NV
Winemaker's Notes
"Pedro Ximenez grapes are laid out in the sun after picking until they are practically raisins. After that the fermentation starts slowly and its halted to maintain all the natural sugars. The resulting wine ages in for 12 years in contact with the air in Jerez de la Frontera. Ebony in colour with iodine highlights. The aromas are reminiscent of figs, raisins and dates. Enormously sweet, velvety and soft on the palate, well balanced, with a very long finish."

(5/31/2018) "Alluring, with gently singed sandalwood and alder notes framing a core of dried orange peel, persimmon and green tea flavors. A walnut oil accent infuses the finish, adding a viscous feel. Drink now. 125 cases made, 41 cases imported."

Bodegas Valdespino "Deliciosa Saca de Primavera 2019" En Rama Manzanilla Sherry NV
92-93
Wine Advocate
(6/28/2019) "This felt tremendously young, with even a touch of lemon skin, which I sometimes find in very young biological wines. I tasted this just before bottling, and it was just like drinking wine from the bota. The wine will settle in bottle, and the explosive character I saw will not make it to the shelves. This wine is always from the same botas, so the differences are more a matter of how long the wine has been in bottle. In any case, I loved what I tasted. 8,600 bottles."

Emilio Lustau "Los Arcos" Amontillado Sherry NV

Wine Spectator
(8/2016) "Walnut, halva, singed almond and green tea notes give this an intriguing profile, flirting with an off-dry character. Stays dry through the bitter orange-edged finish. Drink now. 4,500 cases made."

Bodegas Valdespino "Inocente" Fino Sherry NV

Wine & Spirits
(8/2018) "Inocente is Valdespino's flagship, a wine from the Macharnudo Alto vineyard, where the soil is pure white albariza. It ferments in 600-liter wooden casks without added yeasts, a practice that has become increasingly rare in Jerez. The intensity of the wine's salinity is remarkable-iodine and salt-coming together with ripe white fruit, scents of nuts and exotic spices. The structure is dry and austere, like drinking the juice of stones. This will last for a decade in the cellar, but it's impossible to hold onto a bottle if there's raw seafood nearby."

Cesar Florido "Moscatel Dorado" Chipiona NV

Our Score
One of our tasters described this as "Flan in a Glass." Not sure about that, but this is an incredible find. Sweet, fruity and floral on the nose; floral, caramely, sweet orange cream on the palate. Words can't quite nail the complexity and sheer pleasure of this incredible value!
