Waitrose Fino, 15%, Emilio Lustau

Appearance
Fairly pale bright strawy gold, light legs.
Nose
Very bready flor character with very slight salinity and traces of bitter almond, and a very slight background trace of autolysis, fairly complex and quite good but don't serve wine too cold or you'll lose it.
Palate
Similar, nice and bitter, balancing quite low acidity, that autolysis giving an impression of age, decent length with a bitter flor finish.


Comments
For a supermarket Fino, this is better than most. It is proper Fino, warts and all, and very good value. Emilio Lustau don't win prizes for poor Sherry!
Price
£5,29 (50cl) or £6,29 (75cl)
