Tasting Notes

It shows a brilliant chestnut hue and an aromatic profile that combines the elegance of amontillado with the body of oloroso. The palate is concentrated, dry, and smooth, with persistent hazelnut and oak notes that linger on the finish.

Food Paring

Pair this palo cortado with consommé, game birds, aged cheeses, or richly flavored seafood for a sophisticated table match. Its concentration and freshness also make it an excellent aperitif or contemplative after-dinner pour.

Professional Reviews

90 Decanter

"Intense aromas of roasted walnuts and cooked apple. A concentrated, rich palate, with great freshness and a long fruit cakey finish."

90 Wine Enthusiast

"Dark amber in color, with maple, walnut and other sweet-meets-nutty aromas. It's a bit tangy, but being as zesty as it is it propels maple, white chocolate and apricot flavors. This one has depth and a very long finish, which makes it a regal but still approachable palo cortado. Overall it's similar to an amontillado, but with more pulsing, piercing acidity."
