Sandeman Armada Rich Cream Oloroso Sherry (75cl, 17.5%)

Sandeman Armada Rich Cream Oloroso Sherry is a cream sherry from Jerez de la Frontera, bottled at 17.5% ABV in a 750ml format. Sandeman was founded in London in 1790 by George Sandeman. The wine begins as a dry base from Palomino grapes, fortified to 17.5% ABV and aged oxidatively for more than ten years through the house Solera system. A measured addition of very rich Pedro Ximénez sherry, made from sun-dried grapes, rounds the blend into a cream style. The nose shows roasted walnuts, baking spices, dried fruits, coffee, treacle and dried plum. The palate is full-bodied, with raisin, nougat, vanilla, macadamia nut and herbal spice. The finish is long, smooth and velvety, with cream soda and roasted nut.
