  February 22, 2014 - Reminds me of those giant metal vats of buttery caramel popcorn with nuts, but there's a sherry-like (I'm thinking Valdespino Palo Cortado) acid and noble soft roundness on the nutty, drying finish. Some model glue aroma detracts from the magic. I guess I was hoping to approach about 60% of the magic of the undated Terrantez, but nah. Maybe 20%. Still quite nice though--on the palate it builds to a quince and fig paste aroma on top of salted, fried marcona almonds; slightly hot on finish, but good for the price I suppose. It's the glue that pisses on the parade a touch. Day 2 it mellows significantly -- much better. I'd advise opening then reclosing, and approaching day 2.
