"Toasted sesame, hazelnut husk, singed alder and salted caramel notes are woven together in this alluring and lovely Sherry, which has a tease of sweetness but stays dry overall, backed by a hint of green tea through the finish. Drink now. 170 cases made." — JM, Wine Spectator
"In 1888 the first Conde de Aldama sealed his best botas with plaster to protect their value and to prevent their admixture with wines from grafted vines. The botas remained sealed until 1927, when the Aldama family, facing ruin, sold its stocks and entered monastic life. Until acquisition by Francisco Yuste in the 21st Century, only the natural ullage has been replaced. A rare, authentic Palo Cortado, round and long on the palate with a special tang and aromatic minerality reflecting its maritime origins and aging environment." Winery
