I love the bouquet here unmistakeably Sherry with yeast, nuts and dates, huge minerality and freshness. The palate is finely balanced, maybe slightly watery on the midpalate, but then the chalky finish lasts literally for minutes. Lovely Fino. 17/20

Nose isn't that exciting -- pungent and dried fruit. But the palate... excellent. Long long long forever finish with a mouth-filling structure with tightly defined edges like a small candy bar-shaped presence starting from 1/3 back on the tongue to the back of the tongue. All nuts and yeast and wax in a delightful and harmonious balance.
(Update after more time in the glass: nose is chock full 'o nuts, particularly hazelnuts, and lovely)

Beautiful combination of intensity and everything you love about Fino. Drank this with a table full of cheese, charcuterie, conservas, and boquerones and it was a great accompaniment. Salinity, nuts, yeast all firing on all cylinders.

Good concnetration for a fino, very dry, caramel, walnuts, almond, slightly saline. Nice. In Seattle.
