Dark, dark golden amber. Almost dark brown, like an ancient Vouvray. The fragrance is soaring, explosive. Crushed hazelnuts, toasted almonds, root vegetables like parsnips and jerusalem artichokes. Impeccable delineation and precision. This is surely one of the world's greatest white wines - the pinnacle of human achievement. A transcendental wine, a work of art. I'm not sure how many better whites there are on the planet - not many.

Blind Spanish Wines at De Tapas: Blind Red 2 - Transparent ruby in the glass. Some light strawberry aromas and vanilla on the nose, but mostly it smells a bit dried out with some secondary aromas of dried fruit and dust. Medium-sweet on the palate but without any suggestion of fruit. Vague cherry flavors. This doesn't do much for me. The label also says R. Lopez Heredia Vina Condonia
