The clarity and focus of this aged white is remarkable. Age has given it notes that remind me of Barbadillo's palo cortado - a saline precision with a brioche attraction, but is does not come across as oxidised. Texture is smooth and entirely dry; it even appeared to have quite good acidity. Not at all old, just wonderful.

Pale straw coloured. Lovely full nose, ripe and smoky with peach, nuts and a hint of sweeter tropical fruit. Full and powerful, dense but with great clarity of flavour. Lovely long nutty finish reminding me of salted caramel. Excellent.
