González Byass NV Noe Viejo Pedro Ximénez (Jerez)

Editors' Choice

Price $49

Perfectly sweet, unctuous and rich, with lush coffee and cocoa aromas that indicate that complexity is coming. That promise is rewarded on the palate, which hits fifth gear in seconds flat. Flavorwise, it’s complex and balanced, with good acidity forcing up orange and honey flavors in addition to raisin and brown sugar. A Wow wine where there finish lasts for… — M.S. (4/1/2012)

González Byass NV Matusalem Oloroso Dulce Viejo Sherry (Jerez)

Online Exclusive

Price $45

Outstanding Sherry with complexity, richness and character. The nose has a salinic zest to it, making it no wallflower, and of course there’s raisin and prune. The palate is formed, sculpted and balanced, with peanut M&M’s candy, roasted fruit, chocolate ice cream and more. A beauty with power and poise. — M.S. (6/1/2010)

González Byass NV Del Duque Amontillado Viejo 375 ml Sherry (Jerez)

Online Exclusive

Price $49

Rich, nutty and serious, with focus and power along with depth. This is a weighty, full-force style of amontillado that tips the scale at 21.5%, which is high. But for heady Sherry, this is excellent stuff. Toasted pecan, layered viscosity, balancing acids and pecan, walnut and almond flavors make for an intensely smooth ride. — M.S. (10/1/2011)

González Byass NV Cristina Oloroso Abacado Sherry (Jerez)

Online Exclusive

Price $18

A smooth and coaxing Sherry with almond and dried fruit aromas that lead perfectly to toffee and almond flavors. There’s more dryness than fruit here, with peanut brittle accents and then a long, smoky finish that doesn’t lose focus. Graceful Oloroso, with a nice individual character. — M.S. (6/1/2010)

González Byass NV Solera 1847 Oloroso Dulce Sherry (Jerez)

Online Exclusive

Price $20

Cocoa and cinnamon appear on the nose, flavor profile and finish. There’s also a fair amount of prune, fig and date fruits on this not-too-heavy sweet oloroso. Mixes syrupy qualities with higher-acid zestiness, and overall it’s easy to enjoy and not overly complicated. — M.S. (10/1/2011)

González Byass NV Nectar Dulce Pedro Ximénez (Jerez)

Price $20

A deep, cool, mellow style of PX with requisite raisin and prune aromas along with molasses and a touch of heat. Feels unctuous and almost cloying, with concentrated caramel and raisin flavors. Very long and supersweet, with excellent power and commendable balance. — M.S. (4/1/2012)

González Byass NV Matusalem Oloroso Dulce Viejo 375 ml Sherry (Jerez)

Online Exclusive

Price $49

Exotic aromas of fig pudding, prune and cocoa bean aren’t just soft and sweet; there’s edge and angle to this wine, with plenty of acidity at the core along with coffee and chocolate. If there’s a fault here, it’s that the acidity sweeps away the fruity sweetness, leaving some hollowness on the finish. — M.S. (10/1/2011)

points

González Byass NV Apostoles Palo Cortado Viejo Sherry (Jerez)

Online Exclusive

Price $49

A unique and individual style of Sherry, even among palo cortados. It’s dark amber in color, with a pungent mix of aromas that include molasses, raw brown sugar, chocolate and campfire. Feels fresh on the tongue, with coffee, dark chocolate and core peach and citrus flavors. — M.S. (5/1/2012)
