I’m getting to the end of the box of Gonzalez Byass sherries. It has been great to be able to look at almost the entire range at all quality levels, the good thing about these wines is that they are available just about everywhere in Australia. This oloroso is a straight palomino, its just a pup at 5 years old…

A fairly full and slightly sweet on nose with walnuts, vanilla, varnish, mixed peel and generally crushed, mixed nuts. Luxurious in the mouth, dry with good texture and balance. It finishes a bit short, but enjoyable none the less. Cashews and walnuts, Christmas spices and woody notes.  A good showing and plenty of value at this price point. 90 Pts.
