La Cigarrera Oloroso Jerez-Xérès-Sherry Bitter The wine shows tight tanninsUnusual and interesting: quite light, hazelnut, hints of salt, quite punzante (sharply assertive), oloroso but some amontillado there too almost like a blend of the two yet not Palo Cortado (shows how complex Sherry can be), traces Marmite, slightly overdone toast with a hint of oloroso fat. Very Sanlucar. Round and dry, fairly light and tangy with a warming follow through. Surely more amontillado than oloroso yet has certain oloroso characteristics,
