Wine Enthusiast
Reviewed April 2026This grown-up Sherry brings all the rancio flavors to the yard. Toasted walnut and butterscotch aromas waft from the glass along with dried apricot, orange peel and white fig. The palate is richly-textured and fulsome with yeasty flavors in high-intensity. (RS)

Vinous
The NV Oloroso Catón is a Pedro Ximénez from Montilla-Moriles and was aged 20 years. Complex aromas of oxidative aging, dried fruit, toasted almond and antique wood lead to a dry, intense palate with smooth texture and nutty length. This is a delicate yet powerful oloroso with great flavor. Tasted lot 4347. (JH)

Wine Spectator
Shows a flattering edge, with dried peach, almond, green tea and buckwheat notes gliding through, supported by a subtle twinge of walnut husk that lets everything hover gracefully through the finish. Drink now. (JM)

James Suckling
Toffee, roasted nuts, sourdough and burnt caramel on the nose, with a hint of rancio warmth and savoriness. It shows a lightly syrupy texture on the palate without the sweetness. Medium- to full-bodied and bone-dry, with a lightly phenolic bite and a long, slightly saucy finish. 100% pedro ximenez. (ZS)
