Palomino Blend
Gonzalez Byass ‘Solera 1847′ Oloroso Dulce
Yes, its time for another cream sherry tasting note. This one kicks goals however…A buggar to take photos of though.
Gonzalez Byass ‘Elegante’ Sweet Cream
Cream sherry is the quintessential ‘Nana’ sherry. It’s what many people reference of when they think of sherry, the big jugs of McWilliams Cream Sherry sitting at the bottom of cupboard that their grandmother used ‘just for cooking’. More often than not, if I give someone a glass of good sherry, more often than not I’ll get a comment about drinking it withnana in the kitchen while no-one was looking. Anyway, this is another blend of PX and palomino sherry, but it works a bit better than the last one.
Gonzales Byass ‘Elegante’ Medium Dry Amontillado
Now, this is a blend of Amontillado and PX. I’m not too sure on why Gonzales Byass has a fascination with adding PX to perfectly good Palomino based sherry, but here is another example.
Gonzalez Byass ‘Matusalem’ Oloroso Dulce
I have a box full of fortifieds to get through at the moment, mostly sherry but also some fondillion from Alicante. Plus I was lucky enough to be invited to a Quinta do Noval masterclass a couple of weeks ago. So if you’re a fortified fan you’ll be in for a treat over the next couple of weeks. Lets kick things off with this Oloroso Dolce. It’s part of the Solera Excusiva range, which are the older wines from GB, usually 30+ years old.
