Tasting Notes

Tawny gold in color, it is complex and elegant with pungent aromatics and fine notes of oak. The palate is nutty and layered with a hint of sweetness, finishing long, dry, and refined.

Food Paring

Serve this amontillado with foie gras, smoked meats, a cheese board, or richly flavored seafood for an elegant and savory pairing. Its nutty complexity and dry finish also make it a striking match for spicy Asian dishes and aperitif service.

Professional Reviews

93 Wine Spectator

"This has lots of range, with ginger, date, toasted almond, blood orange, singed sandalwood and green tea notes all allied to finely beaded acidity, letting everything drape beautifully on the finish. Alluring on its own, but this really begs for some Cabrales. Drink now."

91 Robert Parker Wine Advocate

"The NV Almacenista Jose Luis Gonzalez Obregon Oloroso del Puerto produced from Palomino grapes and aged in Puerto de Santa Maria by the sea, has a chestnut color with a green-amber edge, clean sweet notes of roasted nuts, cake and oranges, a medium- to full-bodied palate with a smoky character and great length."

90 Decanter

"Sleek aromatics of truffle, sourdough and roast almond, then a savory palate of soy, miso, kumquat and sea water."

90 Wine & Spirits

"Mixing sweet, ripe fruit with intense flavors of iodine and limestone, this Amontillado holds to a fine balance. Medium bodied, with firm, grippy tannins, it will make short work of shrimp sautéed in garlic and plenty of olive oil."
