  Dark gold, almost Sauternes-like in colour. Is this oxidised? I wondered. The nose has a certain oxidative character too, but somehow it feels like it was intended that way, with the tangy notes balancing with a creamy texture and a freshness on the finish. I haven't mentioned fruit. Hmm...how about baked orchard fruit. Searching my wine memories, I think the closest I can come to this is a top-notch Encruzado from the Dao. Whether that's down to the variety or the winemaking approach I don't know, but I am intrigued. 13.5%, cork.

  Drinking Between The Lines (Alicante - España): Hay, pineapple on the nose with minerals and citrus. Very short on the palate with a prominent acidity and little else.
  
  Heno, piña en nariz con minerales y cítricos. Muy corta en boca con una prominente acidez y poco más.
