Williams and Humbert 20 Year Old 'Dos Cortados' Palo Cortado 50cl NV
£29.00
A rare, peculiar and extraordinarily delicious Palo Cortado Sherry
- This Palo Cortado could easily be mistaken for an Oloroso such is the richness and weightiness it carries
- The nose is warm and intense with vanilla, caramel and nutmeg with dried fruits and roasted hazelnuts
- The palate is dry and lively, lighter-bodied than you might think with firm acidity and notes of walnut skin, garrigue and lemon zest

- The V.O.S. on the bottle stands for the Latin "Vinum Optimum Signatum" or the easier to remember "Very Old Sherry"

Sherry is another festive must-have, and this twenty year old Palo Cortado is pure luxury. It's incredibly complex with layer upon layer of umami savouriness - just the thing for a cold evening in front of the fire. - Emily Silva, OWC

May 2023 - With a disconnect between the warm caramel aroma & sharp lemon flavour, this pretty amber Sherry is a surprise . Think mixed orange & lemon peel. Of the wines I tried at the Give Me Strength Tasting, it was the most curious, the most exciting, a definite talking point. I scribbled: "With pheasant?"
