  Bought a few bottles years ago and just "found" and tried one. Was taken aback as NOT a typical Rueda/Verdejo, a wine I enjoy occasionally and used to buy quite a bit for terrace drinking. Then re-read notes from when purchased - this wine was oaked! Drinks much more like a mature California Chardonnay than anything else. Very smooth with herb and rose on nose, hint of juicy fruit on palate and long finish. Will try a second bottle with more appropriate expectations. More a serious food wine...

  Herbally fresh nose, mild oaky notes, some dill. What a mouthfeel it has! Superb balance and power. Excellent on the palate.

  I have always like Naiades and with maturity, but this is rather past its best. Still rich and enjoyable, but only just. Drink up.

  Beau vin, grande finesse et complexité. S'essouffle au cours de la soirée toutefois. A boire sans trop tarder!

  Nose has floral elements and also a hint of smoke that someone else pointed out could be the sulfur used to finish the wine. Flavors of stone fruit, sort of sweaty, dirty but not musty? This was very unique and very good. If I were to guess I'd say meant for medium term aging.
