Bodegas Dios Baco S.L. NV Oloroso Sherry (Jerez)
- Online Exclusive
- $25
Smells and tastes semisweet, with vanilla and molasses on the nose. The palate runs sweet as well, with root beer, brown sugar and brownie flavors. It’s enjoyable and made right, but with less acidity and cut than many Sherries. Finishes with a mocha blast and some grabby thickness.

Bodegas Dios Baco S.L. NV 20 yr. Baco Imperial Amontillado Sherry (Jerez)
- $90
Smooth and nutty, with deep secondary aromatics of apricot and orange peel. For a dry, aged Sherry, you can’t object to the wine’s intense citrus core and outlying toffee and hazelnut flavors. And then on the finish come those classic mushroom and bitter chocolate notes. A real dandy made for connoisseurs more than novices.

Bodegas Dios Baco S.L. NV Pedro Ximénez (Jerez)
- $15
It’s easy to throw high scores at almost any well-made P.X. because the wines are so viscous and overwhelmingly sweet. And while this one fits that bill, it has a couple of holes in it, namely a nose that stumbles out of the gate and a mouthfeel that’s almost too thick and rich. Very nice but not at that ultrahigh level.

Angular but super clean. The nose shows a little sharpness, but that’s an indicator that what’s to come is tight and lasting. In the mouth, this is a huge, defined wine. It tastes of almond, lemon peel, apricot and even browned butter. By the time the finish concludes, mushroom and more almond have entered the picture. Refined and in control from start to finish.

Bodegas Dios Baco S.L. NV 20 yr. Baco Imperial Amontillado Palomino (Jerez)
- $80
Reticent caramel and walnut aromas come with a peach scent. It feels nice as it glides across the palate, with nervy, salty flavors of dried apricots and nuts. Toffee and peanut are the lead flavors on the classy finish. Only 300 cases were produced.

Bodegas Dios Baco S.L. NV 30 Yr. Old Baco Imperial Oloroso Palomino (Jerez)
- $100
This is lush smelling but dry at the same time, with touches of caramel and cola gracing the bouquet. It feels tight and pinched, but precise, with dried citrus, toffee and hazelnut flavors. The finish is briney, complex and very long. Only 300 cases were made.

Bodegas Dios Baco S.L. NV Baco Imperial 30 Years Old VORS Oloroso Sherry (Jerez)
- Online Exclusive
- $100
Intense and nutty, with a searing dryness that serves it well. This style of fine Sherry is ultra-fresh but lean. The palate is dry and almost salty, with nutty subtleties and very distant flavors of apricots. Lithe and stylish throughout, with a fineness to the body that defies its age and 19.5% alcohol level.

Bodegas Dios Baco S.L. NV Oxford 1.970 Pedro Ximénez (Jerez)
- $15
A sensuous sweet Sherry, this has the full monty of fig, date, licorice, root beer and chocolate aromas and flavors. It’s naturally thick and sweet but also balanced, so it doesn’t come across like a spoonful of syrup. Great as a dessert wine with cake or blue cheese, but also as a topping for vanilla or coffee ice cream.
