Gonzalez-Byass Matusalem Sherry VORS

Catching up w. my old mate Evan who I’ve not seen for 8yrs! #6, a killer Sherry, dry Oloroso & PX, over 30yrs old. Perfect w. Nigella’s olive oil chocolate mousse. Med brown. Pronounced aroma intensity. Raisin, sultana, cocoa, caramel & cinnamon. Toffee, fruitcake, toffee apple & salted caramel. Fully developed. Sweet. Rich & unctous w. caramel, toffee apple, hazelnut purée & vanilla fruitcake. Sultana & raisin w. coffee cream & orange peel. High alc, m+ acid (concentrated by age) & an epic lo

Tasted at the winery this cream sherry has flavours of raisin fig walnut tobacco. It has a slight bitter edge which adds to the balance and the joy is that the flavours persist; for a very long time.

Perfect finish to dinner at CUT. Medium Sweet. Great balance. Acidity nicely tuned. Pronounced intensity and full body as expected. Caramel. Fig. Dates. Raisins. Long long finish. Need to explore Oloroso more. Love this sweeter style with PX🍇.

Paco Tapas 6/7: After the meal and the pairings, we decided to continue the evening with a couple of their 30 year old sherries. This sweet oloroso was first up, and the wine of the night for me. Scents of toffee, crème caramel, fig, raisin, honey. Complex palate of dried and stewed fruit, caramel, chocolate and walnut, but with a saline acid hit at the end that balances it all out wonderfully.

The old category of "dulce" is no longer legal in the AOC, the style closest to it now is cream sherry. 30 years old liquid gold, 75% Palomino and 25% PX. The sole range dates from 1847. Smoked toffee, honey, figs, coffee and milk chocolate. Gentle sweetness compared to a PX and has a balancing bitter salinity to it. Pure indulgence with a great lingering finish. 4.4

I loved this! Oloroso sweetened with around 25% PX, at least 30 years old 130g residual sugar Amber colour On the nose, dried fruits, chocolate, coffee, leather, Christmas spice, polished wooden furniture, nutty So many flavours! Raisins, prunes, dried figs Coffee, milk chocolate Walnuts, toasted almonds Clove, cinnamon and white pepper Dried herbs Toffee apple, caramel Sweet but well balanced and lifted by lemon peel notes Intense, long finish

RP 93/100! ДДМ 93/100! 75% Паламино 25% Педро Хименес. Алко 20.5% PH 3.4 Сахар 130гр. VORS 30 лет в Солерах 19века винодельни Дядюшка Пепе, которые принадлежат Гонсалес Байяс. Одно из 4х топовых вин, на ряду с Дель дук, Апостолы и НОЕ.

Christmas cake candied dried fruit, prune and a brightness of raisin. The finish is more dry with caramel and coffee on the nose. Damn delicious.

4.4 Xeres, 30 years old ... too sweet ...But - nice mix of red.& brown color, great taste prunes, peper spices, truly nice deep aftertaste 💪🏻👏🏻

A silky smooth, mahogany colored creation of toffee and almonds. Well done and delicious with my passion fruit mouse dessert!

Exquisite. smells of caramel, toasted nuts, molasses, toffee and smoke and brown butter. Flavors of chocolate, coffee, toffee. Yum.

Blend of Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez. Nuts, caramel, dried figs, raisins. One of the few greatest sherry I have ever tried :D

Outstanding. Rich, complex, pairs with a variety of after dinner plates. Caramelised nuts, dates, raisin, saline, coffee, warming spices. Buy it!

Blend of Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez. Finally I found my optimal sweet level for a Sherry to drink with desserts. Dried figs and raisins. Hazelnut.

Candied fruits and plum. Juicy goodness to accompany hot apple cobbler with creamy vanilla ice cream decadent wine or with dessert!

Wow dark dark aged Sherry. Dark raisen, Christmas pudding. cinnamon, cola, spice. Great body, acidity and finish. Special stuff

Again can’t help myself but rating this Beauty with 4.5 hands down the best Sherry That one can buy. Had it years ago at Raffles Cambodia

Excelente jerez, muy fino, notas a violetas y almendras, boca media. / Excellent sherry, very elegant, hints of violets, medium aftertaste.

not too sweet strong coffee figs raisins vanilla vinegary spices malt oak leather an array of good spices caramel hints chocolate

I feel like I haven't aged this good in 30yrs. Great toffee notes and deep caramel coloring. This wine will make you reminisce.

Nutty (walnut), coffee, toffee, chocolate, cloves. This is a dessert on its own. 9,3 PM

Lunch at Salmantino’s. This one is something else!! You can drink the whole bottle easily. So elegant….so well done. Thanks my friend for sharing. 4,7

Wow wow... This is such a caramel bomb so rich and luscious the nose and the pallate everything is superb!!! First sherry I loved, this could be a sherry moment

🏆95 Роскошный 30-ти летний Херес уже в сладкой стилистике. В аромате сладости, нуга, орехи, сухофрукты, курага, молочный шоколад, немного пряностей, тоффи, карамель. Ультра плотный, с хорошей живой кислотностью, такой же богатый во вкусе.

Confraria do Diego. Acredito ser o melhor Jerez que eu já tenha provado. Cor negra, profunda e turva. Algum resíduo. Aromas etéreos, farmacêuticos e algo mesclado com doce de caramelo, mel, chocolate e esparadrapo. Volumoso, amplo e de ótima acidez. Agradável e sente-se seco, mas pelo equilíbrio com a acidez, porque apresenta como doce. Com a indicação de idade de 30 anos, essa docura se integra muito mais perfeitamente O que mais me conquistou

Gorgeous, well aged Oloroso. Greatly balanced sweetness by age and oxidation. Works great on its own. Fig with raisins comes with nutty and strong honey and honey wax. Chocolate finish.

👀 Deep amber color 👃🏻 Primary aromas of apples. Secondary aromas of brioche, coffee, syrup, chocolate. Tertiary aromas of leather, almond. 👅 Some sweetness, M+ body, M+ intensity

First nose: chocolate, prunes, chocolate with peppers, nuts, nuts with caramels, coffee beans opens up brings cigars, old wooden tree, spices. On the palate: very well balanced, long aftertaste

Oloroso dulce. 30 years old. From 75 percent palomino and 25 pedro ximenez. Single vinyard. Very persistent strong wine. Alcohol above twenty. Old wood almonds sweetness raisins dried fruits. Incredible long finish.

Rich, rounded and full-bodied. Sweet, but still full-flavoured, with a warmth that spreads throughout the whole chest, even while the sherry is still in your mouth, and keeps spreading as it goes down.

Super complex. Dried fig, acetaldehyde, toasted hazelnut, candied orange peel, marraschino cherry, caramel, toffee, mushroom. Intensely flavourful, unctuous mouthfeel. Forever persistence and complexity. Salty, salty finish.

I cleared out Tesco’s a few years back after they sold these for £3.75 Since then I’ve been giving them to my Dad. He’s visiting in a couple of days so I thought I’d make this one disappear! Burnt toffee, dates and raisins; with an acid twist.

Blind tasting, how much it made me crazy this wine! I've never tasted this category before! Lots of oxidative notes, caramel, chocolate, walnut, hazelnut, but raisins, sultanas and a kind of dried peach aroma. Very sweet, but a fresh sensation and a very long layered finish, with lots of fruit.

black plum syrup, oak, nuts, chocolate, meat with brine, very thick, nut liqueur on the nose, dried apricot, balanced sweetness and acidity, chocolate and prune, long aftertaste with nuts on the palate

A killer Sherry, one of bests I tried ever: the longer you sniff it the richer it gets, really - dried black smoked and backed fig dominating nose, on a palate fig again, coffee comes up, and then this wet baguette with iodine sugar drops on it. Aftertaste figs again. Figs all over, heaven, no less. 4,7 here

A rare and interesting wine, Palo Cortado starts out life as an Amontillado or Fino, aging under a layer of protective flor, before going on to age without the flor like an Oloroso. Apostoles continues this secondary aging up to a total of 30 years, including some time in ex-Pedro Ximenez casks, to produce a rich and concentrated sherry. Intense, nutty aroma and bone dry, walnut flavour. Fine-textured, with lovely fruit and great elegance.

Dark caramel colour, 2016 bottling. Initially confronted with the classic, sweet prune aspect of PX on the nose. In the mouth sweet with the nuttiness of the oloroso coming through. Plenty of dark caramel and coffee notes.

Seems like Cream Sherry has the potential to become a true favorite! What an absolutely delightful wine. A nose lush with almonds, caramel, chocolate and vague hints of delicious coffee beans. The palate gets an addition of dates, Coke and a great acidity that boosts this sweet drink to a magnificent complexity. Wiie :)

Gonzalez Byass VORS Oloroso Cream Sherry 🏆 The best dessert wine I had so far? Amazing enchanting elixir, so impressive & enjoyable! 🍇 Palomino Fino, Pedro Ximénez 👁 Dark to medium brown 👃 Fig, dates, hazelnut, charred oak, pecan, burnt sugar 👅 Sweet, full body w med- acidity & high alc at 20.5%. Notes of caramel, burnt toast, raisin w spices, salted prune, espresso & coffee beans. It maintains a sour note background while delivering all those sweet/aging notes.

Dark treacle brown colour. Raisin, prune, coffee, salted caramel, dried red fruit on the nose. A little pot pourri too. Lush and intense with caramel and fig but not overly sweet. Stunningly complex. After the initial sweetness, some intense bitterness comes in with roasted barley, burnt nuts, oak, cocoa, cardamom and prune. Burnt toffee. Long, oxidative, salt finish with puckering acidity. A wild ride.

2 in 1 — interesting combination of sweet pedro ximénez and dry palomino. Both kinds are clearly noticeable. Brown-red color. Nose full of herbs, spices, dried fruits. High body. Hot. Prunes, pepper, raisins, bitter chocolate, mocha on palate. Herbs on aftertaste.

I absolutely love the 30yo range and this didn’t disappoint. Prune, raisins, sweet baking spices, pretty much like smelling a Christmas cake but with a touch of furniture polish thrown in too. Prune, figs and treacle on the palate but still with some freshness. Absolutely delicious.

Enlightening masterclass "what Sherry gives to whiskey" pair number 2. Quite swee oloroso with a. Ice elegant oxydation. Not my taste, but beautiful chocolate and toffee scent and taste, honey, dried fruits with a lit of pruns. You can find exactly the dame characteristics and color family in the dalmore 18, double aged in the exact same cask!

Mind-blowing sherry with incredible depth and complexity. Just about every yummy flavor you can think of: toffee, raisins, fig, coffee, vanilla, oak, toast, brown butter, chocolate, wow! Sip slowly, savor, repeat. Fabulous with pungent cheese or nuts or sweets. 95 points.

VORS Tasting at bodega González Byass ( @fernando_gonzalezbyass @tiopepewines ) in Jerez de la Frontera. Had been nice to refresh knowledge about the Palomino and Pedro Ximenez grapes, the Solera System and make a stroll through the bodega. Great tasting of VORS (Very Old and Rare Sherry) with a minimum of 30 years aging. Our favorites: - APOSTOLES to pair some starters or as aperitif - MATUSALEM to pair a dessert - NOE, a dessert on its own Wines from Spain 🇪🇸 Cheers - Salud - Prost -

4.3/5.0 Palomino fino 75% PX 25% First 15 years in a separate solera system, then grape varieties blend and next 15 years in other Solera! Very complex great aromas with raisins, nuts, figs, wood, light tannins, coffee, toffee. Sweet, medium + acidity, high alcohol (20%), full-body, great structure. Resume: outstanding, not luscious wine. My degustation of Sherry-Jerez-Xerex for RWC, 09.2020

4.3 грейпфрут, медь, смесь специй для плова в аромате. Во вкусе: карамелезированные цитрусы, кинза. Вообще - это крутейший шери был :)

25% ПХ, темно-коричневый цвет, прекрасный баланс, шоколад, табак и изюм во вкусе. Нотки финика в послевкусии. Отличный экземпляр! 4.3

Aniversário do confrade Procópio, com o tema La Rioja, no El Tranvia Itaim, em SP Este estava na minha lista de desejos. DD 4,5*

Riktigt härlig! Oroloso med en skvätt av Pedro Ximenes. Rätt mörk i färgen och har sina söta toner. Men lite mer balanserad än en vanlig PX. Lite mer syra, lite kryddigare.

Black raisins, dates, black figs, cocoa, milk chocolate. Finishes viscous with sweet caramel notes.

Beautiful mahogany colour and deservatedly so. Pure raisin and cooked plum with some spiciness and mellow oak.

Tastes of cherry and oak. The wood flavors dampen the sweetness and make this a very nice experience.

Dark brown color. caramel raisin notes on the nose. The same tasting notes with oak and chocolate. Not so sweet as a Pedro ximenez, its well balanced.

Nose of chocolate, cocoa, smoke, dried fruit, orange peel, dried apricot, tobacco, pipe tobacco, toasted nuts, walnut, drunken walnuts, salted meat, dried meat, smoked meat, salt dried fruit, dried fig, dried nuts, walnut, raisin, tobacco, dried orange, smoked meat, salt, honey Med+ body, sweet, med+ acidity, med+ to long finish

Majestic Sherry, rare example of sweetened Oloroso. Blend of 75% Palomino Fino and 25% Pedro Ximenez from Jerez de la Frontera (Cadiz, Andalucía). Matured for 8 years in Oloroso solera started in 1847 and for 22 more in Matusalem solera with addition of PX. Dark amber colour. Aroma of fig, plum, butterscotch, orange peel, espresso and tobacco. Taste of dried apricot, prune, bitter orange jam, almond and dark chocolate with sea salt. Medium to high acidity perfectly balances 137 gpl of sugar, med

Superb. Caramel, raisins and walnuts on the nose. Great balance, concentrated, a little sweetness with acidity keeping the wine fresh. Notes of the nuts and fruit identified on the nose plus orange peel and prunes on the palate. Long finish. Great with nuts or cheese.

Saturday Sherry Sensations starring Gonzalez Byass, here is Matusalem (20.5% ABV, 75/25 PF/PX), an extraordinary, delightful Vinum Optimum Rare Signatum (or simply VORS) 30 yr old cream oloroso. Dark, dense mahogany, amber reflections. Nose offers caramelized sugar, coffee, chocolate, toffee, herbs, dried, cherries, figs & sultanas. Abundantly rich palate, sweetness perfectly balanced by lively acidity, pleasant spicy attack, gracefully tart & creamy, nutty, gentle touch of wood, incredibly pers

Celebrating dear Procópio's birthday with Spanish wines, January 13th at El Tranvia. Unctuous, caramel, toffee, correct acidity, long finish.

Great wine! 👁 dark ambar brown color. 👃 caramel, fig, raisin, walnut, hazelnut, yeast. 👅 dry, medium accidity, medium body, medium-long aftertaste.

Frankly sweet, sturdy and in no way cloying, essence of stewed figs and plum in a very sweet sauce. Thick but with something that keeps it fresh.

Sweet raisins, caramel, coffee, chocolate, toffee, prune and dried fig. Highly aromatic and very smooth. Excellent for dessert wine or sampling 🧀.

VORS cream Jerez - mix of Oloroso and Pedro Ximenes. Although it has 130g sugar, it does not feel liquorious and feels more like semi dry due to its acidity level. prune fig coffee

Decent oloroso VORS (with 30% PX) from the big gun Tio Pepe. Nose of Burnt sugar. Hints of sweet cherry. Becoming drier over time. Predominantly burnt sugar that lingers. Caramel and toffee also came to mind.

93/100 I really enjoyed this one at the end of the pizza night 🙌 Has that beatiful nutty caramelized raisin note with an almost chocolate or Christmas cake characteristic and this makes me really want to try more sherry 🍷 Smooth and really nice mouthfeel ✅ Nice and tart that lifts everything and intensifies the overall experience 🙌

Date and molasses aromas. Drinks vicious like runny date syrup. Savoury notes along with the sweetness. Lovely drink to have after a rioja riserva leading to the end of the meal. Slightly reminiscent of a herbal tincture popular in HK.

Produced in very small quantities, Matusalem is made by enrichment of a dry Oloroso sherry with 25% Pedro Ximenez, followed by additional ageing in its own solera. Rich and opulent but with well moderated sweetness. Really complex, both nose and palate are awash with notes of raisins, fig, candied fruits, orange peel and pudding spices. Easier to drink than a Palo Cortado, what a sherry! I love this.

VORS Cream sherry from 80% Oloroso and 20% PX. Nose: quite a bit more powerful and unique than any other cream Sherry I've had before. Notably cola and walnut, along with tobacco, menthol, chocolate, prune, cedar, and dried blueberries. Palate: medium+ sweetness with a full bod and medium acid. It's quite smooth and a large depth of flavor and a long finish.

Ожидал большей сладости. Но очень хорош, засранец. Особенно под сигару и кофе. карамель изюм чернослив ириска дуб сливки сушёный инжир

Blend of 75% Oloroso - 25% PX on average. Tones of dark brown sugar - figs - dades - dried raisin - cinnamon - sweet spices - licorice - mandarin peel - caramel - chocolate - thyme - caramel seasalt. 130 gr/ltr. Abv 20,5%

Sweet Sunday! This is VORS; 30 yr old Sherry, blend of 75/25 Oloroso (Palomino)/PX. 130g sugar/liter. This is also a beautiful wine; very complex nose with figs, salted caramel, elderflower, salted prune, hazelnut and lot more. This is delicious. Good acidity and interesting sweet/salt balance. Long finish. 4,2* @winery

Dark. Slightly fermenty figgy aromas with an alcohol list. Fermenting dried fruit flavours. Long finish. Gonzalez Byass Portfolio Tasting, London, Feb 2025
