Tasting Notes

Mahogany in color, it opens with pungent aromatic intensity and a concentrated, powerful profile. The palate is dry and richly textured with deep walnut and savory notes, carrying through to a persistent elegant finish.

Food Paring

Serve this oloroso with mature cheeses, roast game, or richly flavored meat dishes when you want a deeply savory fortified wine on the table. Its nutty concentration and dry finish also make it a striking companion for mushrooms, pâté, and contemplative after-dinner sipping.

Professional Reviews

91 Wine Spectator

"Offers a raisiny hint, along with notes of date, anise, fennel seed, cardamom and singed clove. There's an ever so slightly sweet feel through the nicely wiry finish, tinged with orange bitters. Drink now."

91 Robert Parker Wine Advocate

"The non-vintage Oloroso Pata de Gallina, Almacenista Garcia Jarana, also a dark amber, offers smoke, earth, and almonds. It would also make a fine match with game."

91 Wine & Spirits

"With mineral flavors at the fore and caramel in the background, this is a gentle Oloroso with an appealing scent of candied nuts. It would be easy to spend hours just smelling it."

94 James Suckling

"Lots of prunes, figs and black dates here with dried persimmon, saffron, walnut, old books and caramel. This is bone-dry and tangy with lots of walnut on the palate. Intense, balanced and long with a nutty finish."
