Community Tasting Note

  July 24, 2012 - Dinner with Gavin and Annie (Tapas B44, San Francisco): By the glass at Tapas B44 in San Francisco. This was decent but not great. Typical Manzanilla nose here, with a waft of sea breeze, some lemon and lime sherbert aromas and just that little touch of minerality. The palate was fresh enough for a 2010 bottling, though the alcohol stuck out a bit amidst its big flavours of lemons and limes with a touch of figs running alongside some saline, sea-water notes. It had longish finish with a nice bit of spice and mineral, but that apart, this was actually quite a simple wine. A good enough pairing with our tapas and paella dishes, but not an outstanding sherry by any means.
