NV Tío Pepe fino Sherry, by the glass from the Alfonso XIII hotel in central Seville. Lemon yellow colour. A little gentle flor on the nose. Nicely balanced palate, the flor is restrained with the mineral and marmite dominating. Dry without being searing, the mid-palate is full of flavour. Seaweed and Amalfi lemon on a long finish. Very refreshing after a long, hot day. 87/100. Drunk 24-Apr-25.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
