Tasting - "Alvaro Domecq, S.L. Aranda Cream Sherry"


Name: Alvaro Domecq, S.L. Aranda Cream Sherry
Variety: Palomino and Pedro Ximénez
Region: Cadiz
Country: Spain
Year: Not Stated
Price: $15.95

Winery Review: "Mahogany colour. Very intense aroma. Velvety on the palate with nuances. Full bodied and long finish."

My Review: Sherry isn't really my thing, especially because it leans towards very sweet and very hot (alcohol-wise). This particular Sherry had strong maple syrup scents and flavors, along with some toffee notes on the tongue. On a side note, I really enjoy how Domecq describes the color, like "mahogany". I tried to describe it as a reddish caramel, but mahogany is spot on.
