The original article was written by Julia Harding MW and pubklished in jancisrobinson.com.

"Every year, Spanish wine writer José Peñîn and his team taste more than 8,000 wines to produce their annual wine guide, the Guia Peñín. For the second year running, Julia Harding MW went to Madrid to taste all the wines which gained 94 points or more out of 100."

Julia selected a number of wines for special mention and four of those are listed by Moreno Wines. Here they are:

Valdespino (José Estévez), Cardenal Palo Cortado VORS Jerez18 Drink now
Much darker, burnt caramel colour than I expeced for Palo Cortado but it is a 30 yr old. Smells complex, nutty and somehow sweet. Then intensely dry and fresh and much smoother than the Coliseo but with the bitterness of walnuts. Amaziningly tangy and fresh. Great zest and length and really lively. 20% (JH)

Valdespino (José Estévez), Solera 1842 Oloroso VOS Jerez18.5 Drink now
