  Amber; oxidative, walnuts, expansive bouquet, spikey; dry, plenty of depth , intense; good attack on finish. a wine that challenges.

  Stunning wine. I have had other vintages of this producer but this vintage stands out. Very complex, oxidative in nature which does not detract in any way.Salty, perhaps reminiscent of an outstanding Fino. Mouthfilling in an extravagant sort of way, and a long, sublime finish. For those able to appreciate this style of wine its an absolute joy.

  93+ Exceptional oxi white. Single vineyard, 4y under flor. Very well judged balance between fruit and oxi notes. Hides its 15%abv with purity & intensity.
  
  N: Sweet apricots and salted peanuts. Verily traditional, oxi bruised apple, Christmas spices. Fresh & ethereal. Burnt caramel.
  
  P: Crunchy green apple, pear flesh, more Christmas spice. Spine of grippy citric acidity (med+). Bruised crab apple, bitter phenolic/while flower character. Alive & singing.
  
  F: Preserved lemon & salted peanuts, warmth.
