Williams & Humbert Walnut Brown Oloroso NV

Williams & Humbert "Walnut Brown" Oloroso Sherry, Jerez, Andalucia, Spain, NV

Walnut Brown Sherry from Williams & Humbert is a dark mahogany-coloured rich, sweet oloroso sherry made from a blend of Palomino, Pedro Ximénez and Moscatel, which is aged in old oak casks in a solera system for at least four years. 

Very sweet oloroso (105g/L residual sugar). Dark mahogany, almost ebony. On the nose, dried nuts and faint aroma of raisins, muscatel and toasted sugar. Smooth and velvety with a warm palate owing to its alcohol content. A long finish.

Critic's Tasting Note:

"A blend of palomino, pedro ximénez and moscatel grapes. Quite dark mahogany in colour, truly walnut brown. Very open, spicy, minty, fruity, pear, Christmas cake, nutty, buttery aromas. What a difference the moscatel and pedro can make. Elegant, round, soft style with medium sweetness. Good toffee, spicy, raisiny, fig, mineral buttery flavours, quite fruity and intense. Good after dinner sip with some cheese, dried fruits and nuts"

89/100 points, Gismondi on Wine

It can be consumed very cold by itself and with desserts, or on ice as a refreshing drink.
