Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The true novelty here is a completely new wine, the NV Cream VOS. In the last few years it seems like the creams are coming out of the closet, like people do not feel ashamed anymore to offer a sweet wine (as long as it's a quality one). This is a blend of Palomino (their Oloroso VORS) and their sweet, youngish (only VOS) Pedro Ximénez. The bottled wine has 127 grams of sugar, but does not really feel very sweet; it is quite balanced, but could do with some more freshness. Compared with the Palo Cortado, it smells quite a lot of raisins and dates. I still prefer their dry wines. This is a small lot of 500 bottles.

Description
In the luminous heart of Jerez, where the chalky soil whitens the landscape under the Andalusian sun, Bodegas Tradición has decided to walk against the tide. Founded with the aim of rescuing the essence of classic Jerez, this house shuns mass production and relies on time as its main ingredient. Cream Tradición VOS 20 Years is born from this philosophy: a wine without concessions, which pays homage to history, manual work and meticulous blending. Here, sweetness is not banality, but depth. This rare blend combines a young, dense, dark Pedro Ximénez with a dry, long-aged Oloroso, both from chalky soils and Atlantic climates that give each grape its character. The result: an elegant and singular Cream, for those who know how to wait.
Winemaking
Cream Tradición VOS 20 Years is made separately: the Pedro Ximénez is obtained after the grapes are sun-dried, which concentrates sugars and aromas, while the Oloroso is aged for decades using the criaderas and soleras system. The blending is carried out with surgical precision, seeking a balance between sweetness and structure. The final blend then rests for more than 20 years in American oak casks, slowly refining. The result is a VOS (Very Old Sherry) certified wine, with a real average age of 25 years and a very limited annual production: just 1,800 bottles.
Taste
Visually, Cream Tradition VOS 20 Years is a deep mahogany with amber highlights. On the nose, it unfolds an aromatic universe of sultanas, caramelised nuts, roasted coffee, candied orange and noble wood. On the palate, the entry is smooth, unctuous, with a generous sweetness (133 g/L of residual sugar), perfectly balanced by the dryness and salinity of the Oloroso. Enveloping, almost creamy texture, with notes of figs, dates, salty toffee and a final echo of sweet spices and blond tobacco. Long, complex, meditative. It is a wine that invites you to pause, to silence, to unhurried enjoyment. A jewel of Jerez that transcends labels and categories.
