Gonzalez-Byass Viña AB Amontillado Seco

A very dry Amontillado on which oxidative ageing has had less effect than usual. Un amontillado muy fino o un fino amontillado. I love this wine!

Es mi amontillado de cabecera. Los hay mejores pero mucho más caros, y si bajas de precio también suele bajar la calidad. Así que me parece un vino muy rico con una buena RCP

🔦 deep amber 👃 pronounced intensity with aromas of lemon peel, bruised apple, almond, walnut, hazelnut, yeast, overriped banana 🍌, fully developed 👅 dry, high acidity, medium alcohol, medium body, pronounced flavor intensity, long finish 🧾 very good quality 🕑 drink now, fully developed /9 9 7 6/

Dry with both flor and oxidized aging notes. Good middle ground for the indecisive. Honestly, I’m more of a flor (fino) fan and this walks the line between both perfectly for me the dry (seco) side of this is also ideal for me. I hope you sherry fans like this wine. Medium amber color. Dried apricot, red apple, oxidized green apple, mushroom, and walnut nose. Dry. Medium acidity. Walnut, crushed dried flowers, dried apricot, oxidized green apple, and dried pear. Blind. Such a unique style.

Fab wine list at Iberica in Leeds, starting off with this delicious Amontillado Deep gold colour Oxidative with bruised apple, fig Caramel Toasted hazelnuts Orange peel Touch of vanilla and spice And finishing with a big hit of sea salt Delicious!

Ramekins & Wine Gonzalez Byass tasting Paired with sautéed wild mushrooms, garlic butter, smoked almond, old Parmesan An amazing pairing that really brought out the fruity, dried fruit, sultana / white raisin notes Alone, there’s woodiness: creamy woody, vanilla with a sweet wood finish The tasting notes mention “bruised over ripe apple, toasted hazelnuts, oak vanilla and light umami pickled onion”

Paco Tapas 3/7: As the sherries progressed, they became gradually nuttier. This one had more of a copper colour to it, along with the scent of salted caramel, sesame, and hazelnut. Full of good nutty flavours, a bit more sweetness than the previous too, with a touch of honey and anise.

Nice. Halavah, dusty yellow leaves 🍁, almond, roasted sunflower seeds with oaky notes. Warm and long lasting. Perfect in winter.

🇧🇾 4.1 🥃 Concentrated essence of a green chestnut, it's edgy while edges are round and pleasant. Emotional drink of rushing lemon 🍋 sourness.

Em Frente ao hotel em Madrid, sentei sozinha e pedi uma dose que acompanha umas pequenas tapas. Deliciosa experiência de beber jerez por las calles. Gostei tanto que comprei para trazer alguns mais

Gentle gingerbread, long nose. Balanced, elegant, mid pronounced nose. Florish, harmonious, long, nuts. Big wine but I am not able to understand it. 3,8

I love Amontillado and this was not an exception. This Amontillado has slightly pale color and less flavor, yet nutty aroma went well with roasted almonds used in sauté of spinach.

In nose, wood, olive oil, olives, yeast and yoghurt. High acidity, light bodied. In mouth, same notes as in the nose with more pronounced notes or wood and olives. Great amontillado.

Another complex Sherry, this time an Amontillado. beautiful lustre in the amber colour. The complex and developed nose shows both fresh citrus and lime tones, as well s ripen yellow apples and quince, roasted corn, minerality, dried tobacco leaves, wax, bitter almonds and some petroleum whiffs. On the palate it is dry and fresh with medium body and same complex aromas a on the nose. The complexity of the aromas is kept in the long finish as well. It felt balanced and elegant and very enjoyable.

3.9/5 Pours a bit darker ( Than the Fino) blonde. Smell is dry, touch more mineral, less ( but stil) refined, full, oak. Taste is full, dry, intense, minor saltyness, fairly easy drinkability. Nice amontillado with a touch of booze.

3.9 General aromas/flavours present: Intense: yeast, oxidation, oak Weak: citrus Clear. Medium amber colour. Clean. Medium+ on the nose. Aromas of nuttiness, yeast, toast, lime. Dry. High acidity, low tannins, full body. Pronounced on the palate. Flavours of yeast (flor), almond, walnut, toast, charred wood. Long finish. A very good wine. Good value for money. Drink now or keep for some years.

Amber colour. Immediate hit of caramel on the nose, some toasted nut, orange blossom and a lingering hint of acetaldehyde. Flor flavours less evident on the nose than the palate which also offered up vanilla, salted caramel and almond. 4 years under flor in the Tio Pepe solera, then 8 years in the Viña AB solera, where the flor dies off and enables oxidative ageing. Nicely balanced but needs some charcuterie to pair with. 2nd up in the 67 Pall Mall online González-Byass tasting (borrowed photo).

We are getting nuttier…the GB Amontillado is produced by allowing the flor to naturally died out then oxidation starts, which is about 7 years, this is made with wine aged in the solera for a minimum of 12 years; golden yellow, almost amber in color, nose of toasted walnut, hazelnut, roasted corn cob, caramel, tobacco, oak and yeast, medium body with low acidity, tastes of dried apricot, dried fig, acetone, super ripe yellow plum, cooked salty egg yolk, mineral, oak, caramel & toast, absolutely

Medium amber. Medium plus intensity aroma of bruised apple, lemon peel, hay, chamomile, toasted almond, dough, caramel, cheese, slight acetone. Dry, medium acidity, medium alcohol, medium body and medium plus finish. Medium plus palate confirms the nose. Very good quality. Not suitable for ageing.

Flying visit to York and thanks to @[1|6143833|Hoogervaaner], had the opportunity to drink sherry in one of her recommended venues (Ambiente). This Amontillado by Gonzalez Byass is such a consistently good performer. It shows so much that is great about fortified wine. Lovely oxidative profile with hazelnut and walnut on show in spades. Backed by orange blossom, apple peel and green olive brine. Paired so well with tapas. Liked sufficiently that more was ordered 🍷

Classical Amontillado with oxidative nutty aromas in nose. Very dry in palate. Many layered with dry, flor, nutty and persistent flavors rounding in mouth. 10-12 Years maturation and the flor still indicates the character of Sherry.

Wine 2 of 6 of Ramekins & Wine’s Gonzalez Byass Sherry Tasting. This is aged for 12 years (underlining just what great value Sherry is). My overriding flavours were of walnut, black olive, toasted nuts and bruised apple skin as well as back notes of pickled onion and raw mushroom. Served with sautéed wild mushrooms, garlic butter, smoked almond and aged Parmesan.

Haha, this is turning into a tasting! Clear, pale, amber color. Clean, medium+ intensity aromas of caramel, hazelnut, acetone, lemon peel and spices. Dry, high acidity and medium+ body. Nuts and caramel. Medium+ finish. Very good.

4,0/5 Beeing dependent on yourself is sometimes the worst addiction Med amber color Med+ nose, orange peel, bruised apple, peach, dried apricot, green olive, dried herbs, thyme, minerals, chalk, honey, yeast, cheese, nutty, almond, caramel, hazelnut and coffee Palate dry, med+ body, med acid, med alcohol, oily texture, med+ intensity flavors and med+ nutty finish Very good Amontillado, typical, rounded, quite complex, with nice integrated tertiary, both biological and oxidative, flavors.

Amontillado is a variety of sherry wine characterised by being darker than fino but lighter than oloroso. It is less sugary than sweeter sherries. Vino Ab, which sounds like Swedish government alcoholpoly, falls to this category. Dry as hills of Jerez during the summer, there is no extra sugar to get high. 16.5%. Despite dryness, it comes with sherry flavours like nuttiness and raisins. Beats more plain sherries 6-0.

Dry and nutty with a lot of strength. A sherry with its distinct yeasty character. I have little experience on Amontillado sherry, but now I have a reference. Based on critics scores and price, this wine represents great value.

This Amontillado is 12 years old and ages 4 years inder flor, then no new nutrients (fresh wine) is added, 4 years later the flor is gone and it oxidatively ages another 4 years. During this process, the wine increases in alcohol to 16.5% abv. The nose is incredibly fresh and Fino-like whereas the palate has a nutty character.

Wine #2, Ramekins & Wine with Gonzales Byas, paired with sautéed wood mushrooms, garlic butter, smoked almond & old parmesan. On its own, there's baked apple, a hint of onion, hazelnut shells, charred wood & a touch of oxy. Matching with the food really accentuates the nutty, umami notes in both the wine & food.

⭐️ 90P/4.0* Very well-balanced Amontillado. Great structure, complexity without getting too complicated. Good one if you want to learn or understand this style. 👁 Med amber. 👃 Nose with dried fruits (dates, figs) and tobacco, roasted nuts, bitter orange and lemon zest, toffee and a hint of coffee. Med intense. 👅 Dry, fine wine wit a med acidity and a med- body. Alc is med (for fortiefied) and the med+ finish dominated by the known tertiary notes.

Косточки абрикоса, миндаль, грецкий орех, дуб, немного яблочной кислинки. В послевусии к ореховости добавляется немного кофе и пенициллина.

3.8 так приятно пьётся в Андалусии :) кофе, бисквит, корица в аромате. Восхитительный вкус ))) моченых яблок с выпечкой, лимончиком, перцем. Класс!

Отличный правильный сухой херес. Орехи, дуб и ноты опавшей листвы. Финиш долгий и приятный. Пьется понемногу, но долго не надоедает.

Um Amontillado com um nariz bem doce, mas uma boca que dá um estalo de secura e tem uma acidez que ataca as parótidas. Incrível!

Mittleres Bernstein. Orangenschale, Orangen, Nüsse, Marzipan, Mandeln, Baumnuss, Brioche. Ausreichend Säure und recht langer Abgang.

Muy intenso en nariz, bastante más fresco en boca, pero con mucho cuerpo. Algo de frutos secos y de whisky. Bastante picante y especiado

Nariz muy parecida a la del Tío Pepe, pero más suave y fina, con notas de almendras fritas. Untuoso, pero ligero y fresco. Muy fácil de beber.

Богато, выдержка, орехи, миндаль, алкоголь, очень ароматно, весьма сухо, богато, отличный дижестив, да и так пить тоже можно, годная штука

Dry. More spices than other amontillados: coriander, thyme, lemon peel. Light raisin aroma, but not much on the pallete.

Переместился в нормальную втыкаловку и разогнался бочонком амонтильядо. Точнее бокальчиком :) Нежный, ореховый с приятной кислинкой, в моем стиле абсолютно

Влажные дрожжи, сырые орехи, травяной тизин, лесной мед, сырой картофель, корочка бри/камамбер, квашеные яблоки, соленья, прям из кожи вон просит тарелку тапас 3.75

La Carboná, Jerez, 1* Michelin. Menú degustación, maridaje con vinos de Jerez. Mollejas en salsa de apionabo, con amontillado de 12 años. Espectacular!

Maridaje que no falla. Jamón ibérico, aceitunas verdes y jerez. En este caso un rico amontillado de color ambarino. Aromas de almendras y carozo de durazno. Avellanas y cascara de naranja. En boca es sedoso de toque salino y sabores de uvas pasas, caramelo, damascos desecados manzanas rojas oxidadas y nueces. Excelente por su precio. 4⭐️

Cuando entra en mundo de los vinos del marcó de Jeréz queda totalmente atrapado. Hasta la fecha no era de vinos generosos pero cada día me apasionan más, será la edad??? Color amielado, denso, limpio y brillante. Nariz de intensidad media alta, elegante, notas de frutos secos, avellanas, nueces tostadas. Toque a salmuera y a caramelo quemado. En boca es seco, salino, amplio y con un largo postgusto. Retronasal, avellanas, notas ahumadas y miel.

Nutty and complex. Could pair with a variety of things.

3.75. solid Amontillado.

Precioso color, agradable y aromático.

Walnut, varnish, seaside. Long, long and, did I say, long.

Accurate and soft. Almonds, honey, herbal tea, flor. Spicy and very concentrated. Very good!

Superb wine for traveller in Spain.

Decent amontillado sherry, dry but full of taste

Whoa! Good sherry

Dry, nutty sherry - perfect w tapas.

Excellent with Jarmon and cheeses

Delightful expressive nose. Bone dry, elegant with good acid and long aftertaste. Very nice.

Tastes like a cross between a regular sherry and white wine. Intersting.

Beatifull rich aroma’s. Fresh & dry on the palate.

Excellent representation. Great desert wine but still dry.

4* por rcp. 8.55 €. Delicado y suave muy largo en boca. Un vino muy serio. Me gustan mucho más los amontillado que los fino (que también). Ganan en complejidad. Muy rico.

Ambar, claro, en nariz es bien expresivo, con notas fermentadas a mantequilla y crema, madera tostada, humedad y caramelo. Excelente maridaje con jamos y nueces o almendras. 👍🏻👏🏻

Lunch in Jerez de la Frontera, Albores restaurant, May 16th. Medium gold color, nuts, mushrooms, very dry. Paired with foie gras, sweet tomatoes and toasts.

Deep golden colour, oxidative nutty hazelnut and saline. A little acetone on the nose. Great aperitif.

Lovely amontillado 🌰 nutty caramel almond hazelnut walnut honey oak yeast toast raisin dried apricot toffee vanilla coffee

Почему-то в линейке хересов считается один из самых легких. По мне так хорошая "смола", местами как будто йод - запах моря-океана. В целом прекрасно, но мой херес все чуть крепче, подальше от вина...

넛트 산화 호두 캐러멜 코에서 열감이 느껴짐 거의 풀바디이나 바디가 금방 사라짐 산도가 쎈거같으나 알콜인지 구분 안됨 알콜은 확연히 두드러지고 피니시가 김 산도 지나치고 알콜여운과 넛트류의 기름진 고소한 내음이 살짝살짝 바톤터치하듯 느껴짐

Mittleres Bernstein mit goldenen Reflexen, oxidativ, Salzmandel, geröstete Haselnüsse, kräftige Säure, Gewürze und etwas Zitrus im Abgang, Mittel (+) Länge, wird mit Luft Rinder und cremiger

. 👍🇪🇦🍾 Очень хороший херес, но ожидания были более высоки... Вино насыщенное в аромате. Водянистое. Орехи, йод, бинты, ...дуб, кислинка в послевкусии С праздником Великой Победы🍷👍

A delicious Amontillado from Palomino grapes, that went through biological & oxidative aging, with a minimum of 12 years in an american oak "botas" solera system. A great match chilled with fresh green olives. Nose of salt, fresh green olive, peeled almond & a hint of hazelnut, hints of overripe orange peel, a ghost of ethereal meat broth, subtle window cleaner & ripe spices. Mid(+) body perception (but 16,5%) thanks to lovely high oxidative acidity with a pleasant steely note & texture. On..

An amontillado usually starts as a fino sherry, in which the 'flor' yeast film stops developing or the winemaker decides to kill the flor. It is then allowed to oxidise slowly in barrels, during which it gets a darker colour and an additional set of aroma and flavour components. This lovely and accessible amber-coloured Amontillado Seco shows caramel, dried figs, walnuts, ginger and toast over a bone-dry, intense, spicy & salty palate. Serve chilled with tapas, seafood, white meats in sauce or h

3.3@Spain restaurant. 2 years has passed since I came to Bangkok. I did not watch skyscraper of BKK so much in the past. I enjoyed view 🌁🌁🌁🏙️🏙️🏙️🌃🌃🌃

Light brown wine with viscous tears. Medium intense nose with almonds. Dry, balanced acidity, light body, nutty, short finale.

Honey nut and fig on the nose, light bodied but chewy, fresh finish.

Toasted almond, mushrooms and rosemary. Salt. Quite fresh, with very pleasant and long salted walnut finish. Had it with tiramisu, and made an excellent pairing.
