NV Valdespino Jerez-Xérès-Sherry Palo Cortado Viejo C.P. - Spain, Andalucía, Jerez-Xérès-Sherry (1/5/2015)
This is a very interesting wine. I found all sorts of aromatic and flavor elements, from grilled peach to roasted nuts, caramel and a general note of pleasing oxidation. I don't think I am yet getting half of what this has to offer. Hoping to follow it over several days, and keep teasing more out of it. Delicious stuff, and given the low 30s price tag it is a real value for fascinating wine.

Sounds fascinating! I have only tried a very few sherries, and this is a wine I want to follow more.

I need to stop at Arlequin or Terroir in SF to see what they carry! I know Terroir had a couple of nice "natural" sherries" on their list.
