Tasting - Alvaro Domecq

Name: Alvaro Domecq
Variety: Aranda Creamy Sherry
Region: Jerez
Country: Spain
Vintage: Unstated
Price $20, sale $9.95
The wine shop's review: Golden-brown in color, this has heady aroms of cola, nut, nutmeg, root beer, and caramel. A pure, creamy palate of cinnamon apple, mocha, coffee and chocolate. It's quite smooth and balanced, and very long on the finish.

My review: I was not a fan of this sherry. It was very viscous, and I thought the flavor was almost like that of bourbon, but it was also very sweet. I did not have it with food.
