Color amarillo brillante y un poco verdoso. Aroma de poca intensidad, miel, hojarasca y un poco de talco. Boca untuosa y suave con acidez correcta, sabores a lichis, mandarinas, pimienta blanca y con un breve toque mineral, postgusto corto. Ninguna señal de oxidación en esta botella

Oxidised bottle. Colour was still vibrant and without signs of ageing and even no signs of oxidation. Nose and taste was however completely 'covered' by this 'sherry-type' of flavours. Will try another bottle soon.

Light yellow color. Aromas of light citrus, almonds, melons and crushed seashells. Ripe, well balanced medium-bodied fruit in the mouth with very good depth and a long, salty finish. Though still young a delicious accompaniment with Serrano ham and other tapas.

A bit chablis type features, yellow straws, creamy nice fruit and acidity, quite good but I will wait some years before consuming the remaining two bottles, 89+.

This displayed a beautiful yet rich expression of honey, almond, floral perfumes and crushed stone. On the palate, I found rich silky textures with impeccable balance, showing saline-minerality which gave way to notes of lime and stone fruit. It finished long, lingering on saline notes.

Tasted blind. Very pale straw. Toffee and sickly caramel aromas initially but this blew away. The palate was peachy with pineapple and rich, ripe voluptuous mouth feel but finished a bit flat which marked it down in the final analysis.

18 months French oak. Medium plus nose is oxidative, nutty, baked apple, caramel. Palate matches, full flavor of baked yellow fruit, almonds, medium plus acidity, lemon curd, dessicated pear, really lovely layers overall. Sees lees floor develop in barrel. Cool stuff.

This wine was less fresh and more oxidized than the 12/14/19 bottle but still delicious with my wife’s spicy spot prawns and bok choy.

Rich, creamy-textured and nutty. Full-bodied with balancing acidity and perfect length.

Fruity, oaky, but doesn't seem to be as good as, say, the 2009.
