Bodegas Valdespino "Viejo C.P." Palo Cortado NV
96
Wine & Spirits
(10/2015) "The wines that make up this Palo Cortado have an average age of more than 25 years. Originally, it was aged in Calle Ponce in the city of Jerez, hence the initials still printed on the label. During aging, the wine is refreshed with Fino Inocente and Amontillado Tio Diego, two other top bottlings in Valdespino's portfolio. The end result is a wine that smells smoky and rich in caramelized flavor, but tastes dry to the bone, all those ripe flavors become the purest mineral impressions. A sense of chalky albariza soil floods the palate as the acidity tingles along the tongue, leading the way into a vertical wine, intense and vibrant."

Bodegas Valdespino "Contrabandista" Palomino/Pedro Ximenez Sherry NV
90
Our Score
(4/2019) The Contrabandista is a unique sherry consisting of 95% Amontillado pulled from 8 years in solera with 5% Pedro Ximenez, the addition of which contributes a bit of sweetness without dampening the fruit-and-nut medley of Amontillado. The nose is full of caramel, prune jam and salted milk chocolate supplemented with orange-blossom honey and hazelnut. All of this is followed by an off-dry palate laden with walnuts and chestnuts and a rustic oakiness to balance the torched brown sugar finish. A wonderful after-dinner sherry for those in search of brightness with a touch of sweetness.

Bodegas Valdespino "Tio Diego" Amontillado Sherry NV
93
Our Score
(9/2018) Wow, this is delicious! This is essentially the "Inocente" wine aged for an additional five years, made from 100% Palomino from the Macharnudo vineyard. It is lovely and dry, with deep floral and bruised orchard fruit tones, with chalky minerality and salinity. Very long and devastatingly tasty.
