Dos Cortados Palo Cortado VOS - Williams & Humbert

We recently rediscovered these aged sherries from Williams & Humbert and were highly impressed. Williams & Humbert is famed for it's Dry Sack sherry, but the 20 year and 30 year sherries they make are absolutely enthralling and stand out in a crowd. Burnished copper color with an olive cast. Aromas of sautéed and roasted Brazil nuts and almonds and flan follow through on a round, supple entry to a dryish medium-to-full body with delicate herb and peppery spice notes. Finishes with a long, chewy, dried citrus peel, moss, and nutskin-like tannin fade. 93 points (exceptional) by Tasting.com at the World Wine Championships in Chicago.
