Tasting profile
An amber-hued palo cortado showing a powerful, saline nose of tobacco, dark chocolate, oak, raisin and smoke, with a nutty palate of almond, hazelnut, walnut and dried apricot threaded by caramel, vanilla and a touch of fennel or licorice. Dry, high-acid and balanced, it finishes long and savory - a distinctive sherry that drinks beautifully as a digestivo.

How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
