Quite lovely and bright on first opening, with superb nose. Complex manzanilla. After 2 hrs open definitely loses a bit of energy and complexity. Would recommend drinking btls in the next year or two to capture what's so special here.

Darker not as expressive as the 16. Tighter with more lemon and saline - Sea spray. Really savory. Burly when trilled dark lemon sea spray. Nose - 5/6, Palate - 5/6, Finish - 5/6, Je ne Sais Quoi - 1/2 = 16/20.

Brass turning gold. Quite an opulent nose suggesting iodine, medlar and roasted almonds. Intense, almost oily in texture and very well lifted by piercing acidity and salty-nutty flavours. Very rich and lingering.

Dark golden/brown and oxidized. It's possible to see the good wine in there, but this bottle is not right.

Ditto other reviews. Rich and complex with intense structure and notes of almond oil, quince and wormwood.
