Toro Albala Don PX Gran Reserva 1990
93
Wine Advocate
(6/28/2019) "The 1990 Don PX Gran Reserva has unusually high sugar, close to 400 grams (when this range is usually less than 360). Compared with the rest of wines, this feels like a very good value. These wines mature in old 550-liter American oak casks for decades, and the wines have great concentration. It felt unusually perfumed, a little spirity and with notes that made me think of Moscatel-notes of orange peel and flowers, and of course the raisin and dry dates and figs from these wines made with raisins. It's sweet and dense like motor oil and leaves a combination of raisins and chocolate in the spicy and faintly warm finish. This was bottled in early 2019. Drink Date: 2019 - 2026."

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."

Wine Spectator
(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."

Valdespino "Vina Macharnudo Alto" Vino de la Tierra de Cadiz Palomino 2018
Screaming with chalky minerality, this bone-dry white from the Jerez region is the evolution of Sherry. Very cool, totally unique and totally delicious.

(4/3/2021) "An unfortified offering from one of Jerez's oldest bodegas. Grapes are sourced from Valdespino's historic Macharnudo Alto vineyards. Fermentation took place in used Sherry casks where the wine remained until the following July before being transferred to stainless steel for a final period of settling before bottling. Gloriously complex. The fine buttery notes on the nose, with Palomino's subtle aromatics, lead on to a lively, lightweight, fresh crispness. There's a real sense of place here, with a brisk saline tang and a long, resounding finish. Expressive flor character with Marmite and iodine complexity and a long and complex finish. Lemons and almonds on the nose, clear Sherry character which reminds me of festival-time rebujitos in Jerez. An attractive oxidative character with a hint of tannin on the palate and creamy nutty notes. This speaks of place and variety, but in a reimagined way. A dry table wine in a Sherry style, capturing the essence of Andalucia. Drinking Window: 2021 - 2024."

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."

(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."

Cesar Florido "Moscatel Dorado" Chipiona NV
93
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!

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."
