Wines like these make writing blogs fun I can tell you. This is another top drawer Palo Cortado – from Bodegas Tradicion, a crew who specialize in very old sherries like this one – a 30 year old palo cortado. 

This has a (burnt) citrus vibe on the nose, then a lot of (also burnt) caramel in the palate, an oily, buttery mouthfeel, a little bit of alcoholic heat and a little acidity. Really very good – real structure to it.
