Here’s a short film of me tasting the new (2011) release of Gonzalez Byass’ Tio Pepe Fino En Rama. It’s a sherry taken from the cask in spring when the flor is at its thickest. It’s then bottled unfined and unfiltered for early drinking. Remarkable stuff.

I know GB say don’t leave it for more than 3 months, but last year I kept a bottle for well over 3 months. Until the middle of October. I think it had actually improved. Thrown its haze and on palate was just as complex but cleaner and shaper than before…
I love the way I can drink gallons of it with barely a hangover. Now that’s a USP.
are you allowed to tell us where to obtain it?
Lea and Sandeman and The Wine Society had it last year. L and S certainly have it again.
Just tried this last night. Fabulously rich and flavoursome. I feel very ‘of the moment’, as Anthony Rose also picked this up in his column. Perfect for now.
Wine Society have just delivered their allocation to customers. May have some left.
Just saw this. Adnams is also selling it:

Majestic have an allocation of this as well.
Adnams still have some available
