"I could have chosen Valdespino's outstanding Inocente Fino with its consistent excellence. Instead I have chosen the sometimes unfairly overlooked Tío Diego, its equally fine big brother, the wine that was Inocente and was then fortified and taken on the amontillado path without its protective coating of flor. Its aroma is the essence of Jerez: nuts, caramel, the sea. Great value."

"This offers aromas of varnish, walnuts and a touch of roasted orange peel. The palate is energetic and really savory, with tension and chalkiness. Long and persistent. It has an average age of 17 years, distributed in around 10 years of biological aging and 7 to 8 years of oxidative aging. This comes exclusively from the historic Macharnudo vineyard. Incredible value. Drink now."
