Extra Amontillado Sherry

 

“This modestly priced Amontillado is a clear, light golden-brown, approaching a caramel color.  Its appealing aroma is full of nutlike character that mixes walnuts with something lighter like pecans.  It's all walnuts in the flavor, though; black walnuts, freshly cracked from the shell, rich and full-bodied, with a hint of a yeasty fresh-bread note and a gently sharp lemony tang to add structure and flavor interest. Neither a traditional table wine nor a dessert wine, it requires Sherry's usual paradigm reset, well worth making the effort on a cold winter night.”  A Best Wine Value
