" I'm not exactly sure that it's entirely run of the mill, as that puts in in the same league as Harvey's Bristol Cream and the like. This is actually a serious sherry - it's made and aged in the solera properly. The reason it's cheap is that the bodega has had the property for many many years, the costs in the area are rather low, and there is little demand for sherry because most people outside of Spain don't know how good it can be. But you have good taste - Parker has said that the entire line of sherries from Pedro Romero "merits serious consideration". It's one of the best value lines in sherry. Try some more!! All the best.

Thanks! I wrote about a California cult wine called the Scholium Project that assaulted my mouth with fruit and salt!
