Lustau Description
Palo Cortado is the rarest and most unique type of sherry style and combines dark, grand Oloroso character with the soft palate feel of fine Amontillado. This stellar bottling has a rich, spicy nose with intense, exotic flavors and terrific length. A winner!
Wine Advocate: 96 Points
A mind-blowing sherry is the non-vintage Palo Cortado Peninsula Solera Reserva. Like all Lustau sherries except for the East India, it is made from the Palomino varietal. A dry, crisp, full-throttle, intense sherry offering incredibly complex, nutty aromas, it represents a style that falls between the Amontillado and the more oxidized, heavier Oloroso.
Wine Enthusiast: 90 Points
Dark amber in color, with maple, walnut and other sweet-meets-nutty aromas. It's a bit tangy, but being as zesty as it is propels maple, white chocolate and apricot flavors. This one has depth and a very long finish, which makes it a regal but still approachable palo cortado. Overall it's similar to an amontillado, but with more pulsing, piercing acidity.
