Not as fresh forward as it could be, with mushroom and leather along with the requisite raisin and toffee aromas and flavors. Also it runs hot on the palate. Has some good points but in such a sweet category it isn’t lovable.

Dark in color and extremely nutty. Along the way there are notes of seawater and white plum. The palate is a bit tangy and sharp, with orange peel, almond and butter. Oily and complex on the finish, with a buttery tail and plenty of palate presence.

Piercing and pungent, with a bit of alcohol on the nose as well as campfire smoke and citrus zest. Smoky and round on the palate, with big-time nuttiness and plenty of mushroom. A condensed, explosive Sherry that hits hard. Imported by CIV/USA.

Dark in color, with round, malty aromas that run deep. The palate is a bit sweet as well as a bit sharp; think citrus mixed with caramel. And along with that there’s pumpkin pie and allspice. Flavorful and nicely balanced. Imported by CIV/USA.

Pristine aromas of caramel, orange peel and leather are both powerful and pure. Flavors of toffee, cinnamon, cheddar cheese and raisin are first-rate, while the sum of the parts is brightened and heightened by perfect acidity. A fine Amontillado that should please anyone with a fondness for good Sherry. Imported by CIV/USA.

Yellow in tint, with slightly pasty aromas that quickly morph into nuttiness. The palate is full of nuts and butter, while the finish throws off mushroom. Not oxidized, but on the round side.

90 Dios Baco Cream Sherry; $20. Sweet and a bit unusual, with aromatic notes of cheddar cheese and barnyard along with more typical toffee and caramel. The palate is confectionary and sturdy, with vanilla, maple and mushroom flavors. Plump and rich on the finish.

This sweetie is powerful yet smooth, with almond paste and coffee aromas along with a mild sharpness that lends focus. Flavors of chocolate, brown sugar and baked apples burst forth from the thick and creamy palate, while the finish, which runs a little short, is flavorful and comes with a mushroom accent. A sure-fire hit with desserts.

Rich and pure, with warm saddle-leather aromas as well as scents of toffee and hard cheese. The palate runs sweet and rich, with plenty of brown sugar and spice galore. As a whole it’s a rather forward and approachable wine that might lack some complexity but not exuberance.

More sweet than semi-sweet, and very stylish. The nose offers a full blast of maple, citrus rind and honey, while the delicious palate overflows with dried apricot, fig, dates, pepper and chocolate. This is a sherry that excels in the area of mouthfeel: it’s lithe, almost lean, but still packed and upright. And the finish, which is just spicy enough to offset the sweetness, goes on forever.
