Antonio Barbadillo Palo Cortado Del Oel Obispo Gascon Sherry

The second of the old sherries tasted and one degree higher in alcohol at 21%. Pale tawny olive green colour. Very strong rancio nose with uplifted old spirit, leather, walnut and roast hazelnut aroma. The palate is full bodied with concentrated, powerful flavours. Very dry and salty with nutty rancio flavours - very pronounced with a hint of acetone at the back of the palate, yet not apparent on the nose. The acid levels are remarkable - crisp and very lively contributing to the exceptionally long roast almond and salt aftertaste.
