Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold, a pale colour for a 1st fill sherry
air Nose
all about walnuts and chalk. You could almost say 'albariza' (the very chalky soil of the area around Sanlúcar and elsewhere in the Triangle). You could even say it resembles a fine of manzanilla, if such a thing existed. With water: moist plaster and fresh walnut, plus a few amaretti biscuits and kougelhopf
restaurant Palate
truly perfect, very compact, very coherent. Always the walnuts, whether fresh or aged, liquors made from these same walnuts, a bit of pepper, a salty side (some whelks, ha-ha), and then, as long as we're on the subject, some real manzanilla. Not so many people know manzanilla, everyone should buy a bottle, they are scandalously cheap (there are some great ones for less than €10, at least locally). With water: maltier notes come back to the surface, all the while remaining very dry and almost austere
timer Finish
long, on similar notes and a bit of green pepper. The manzanilla remains in the aftertaste
