MNB: White Rioja and laterals (Home (Noe st)): (blind) Pale gold. Funky savory pear and bruised nectarine nose. Dusty, with hints of toast. Slight banana. On the palate - musty, toasty pear, mushroom, dried leather, dried apple. Dried mushroom. Nutmeg and old cinnamon dust. Dry, medium body, 13% alcohol (correct), medium plus acid.
Older Chablis or a Crianza Rioja. Acid is a little low for Chablis - so a Crianza Rioja, 2014, ok quality.

84% Viura, 16% Tempranillo Blanco. Lots of silky melon fruit to the nose and palate. Barrel, cement and eggs. Shows barrel ferm very modestly on the palate.

frosty melon palate. Easy drinking. Showing some maturity in the melon sense. Has a ripe feel on the palate. Generous.

Family trip to Rioja - June 2017; 6/20/2017-6/26/2017 (Rioja): Pear drop, cream aromas. Simple nose, and lack of complexity or definition through to the finish.
