Is Antique Palo Cortado a good wine?
Tasting profile
A deep brown, full-bodied sherry with an intense nose of orange peel, figs, nuts, vanilla, and varnished wood, leading to a rich, silky palate marked by caramel, almonds, and a faint saline edge. Finishes long and lightly bitter with a toffee-like sweetness balanced by fresh acidity, excellent as an aperitif or with nuts.

What reviewers say
“On the nose you get an initial Zacapa XO (rum) like sensation. Maceated figs, vanilla bean, honey, cinammon sticks and sugared orange peal candy fill the nose.”
