Winery Review: Light in color and delicate in flavor with nuances of roasted nuts, Taylor Dry Sherry is a classically styled pale dry sherry. It is delicious as an aperitif. Serve slightly chilled, over ice, with a twist, or with soda.[1]

Wine Folly: Sherry is Spain’s top fortified wine, made primarily with Palomino Fino grapes and extended oxidative aging. It’s available in a range of styles of bone-dry to very sweet.[2]

My Review: I'm going to start by saying, I was not a huge fan of this sherry but I would try it again. It had a bit of an almond and vanilla taste but also was rather earthy in some aspect. Perhaps the taste is what some people would refer to as tobacco, sort of a sweet yet earthy flavor. A word of note is that I did try this wine several days after it had been opened and my poor reaction may have been due to oxidation. So, I would like to give Taylor's Dry Sherry a fair go by giving it another try.
