Osborne NV Pedro Ximenez 1827 Sweet Sherry (Jerez)

Best Buy

Price $14

A spectacularly sweet and rich bruiser, and one that delivers the essence of raisins, toffee and chocolate. This wine hasn’t taken one turn south, and it’s beckoning to be consumed. The finish is impeccably smooth and rich, and while its luscious to say the least, the amazing thing is its length, which runs a couple of minutes, no joke. A guarantee for anyone who… — M.S.

Osborne NV Rare Sherry Pedro Ximénez Viejo (Jerez)

Price $120

Fairly typical of a quality PX, with prune, fudge and leather on the nose. Runs a touch syrupy, but the flavors are excellent: the chocolate, raisin and coffee tastes are all precise and stellar. Shows some raw power at times, but also remains subdued. — M.S. (6/1/2005)

Osborne NV Premium Sweet Sherry 1827 Pedro Ximénez (Jerez)

Price $20

So thick and rich that it seems to fall apart in the mouth in pieces. There’s rum raisin on the bouquet and then backing aromas and flavors of prune, orange rind, toffee, peanut and chocolate. It’s rich, sweet and unctuous from start to finish, but with just enough balance and acidity to keep it upright. Sincere and delicious. — M.S. (4/1/2008)

Osborne NV Premium Oloroso Medium 10RF Sherry (Jerez)

Price $16

Caramel, molasses and spice aromas make this a totally approachable and familiar type of Sherry. The palate offers a round but zesty attack, with flavors of caramel, coffee, toffee, baked apple and orange peel. For the most part it’s racy and fresh, but finishing mushroom and pepper notes give it added character. — M.S. (4/1/2008)

Osborne NV Fino Quinta Palomino (Jerez)

Best Buy

Price $14

The differences between a good fino and a great fino are usually slight, but this one has pretty much all one could ask for. The nose is crisp, with hints of sea breeze, peanut and tart apple showing through. In the mouth, there’s snap, saline and mineral-laden white fruits. Nothing is out of bounds. — M.S. (6/1/2005)

Osborne NV 10RF Oloroso Medium Sherry (Jerez)

Best Buy

Price $14

Sweet and plump in the nose, with a hint of caramel corn, burnt sugar and char. Flavors of walnuts, dried apricots and citrus peel carry the palate, while the lasting and tasty finish delivers the works in terms of toffee, mocha and raisins. More fruity than many, with a touch of mushroom. — M.S. (8/1/2003)

Osborne NV Bailen Dry Oloroso Sherry (Jerez)

Best Buy

Price $14

Offers all the requisite almond and dried stone fruits one could ask for. The spicy palate is racy as can be, with flavors of mushroom, almond, sea salt and white pepper. The finish is long and powerful, and overall it is a serious Sherry with no cracks or flaws. Imported by W. J. Deutsch & Sons. — M.S. (10/1/2005)

Osborne NV Solera Primera Rare Amontillado Sherry (Jerez)

Price $90

Almost shocking at first, due to strong, unyielding peanut and iodine aromas. Remains intense on the palate, where salt, butter and almonds mix nicely. Sharp and racy on the finish, with good flow. A word of warning: there’s nothing cuddly or sweet about this. It’s old-style, traditional Sherry made for the connoisseur. Imported by W.J. Deutsch & Sons. — M.S. (8/1/2005)
