Have had better, more layered tastings of this. Saline, bracing, moderately aldehydic, with toasted hazelnuts and a hit of heat. Not sure if restaurant pour was from not the freshest bottle, or what, though this restaurant (Barcelona) must go through cases of this stuff every month.

Tasted within a year of bottling, but just by a hair. Nose: oil-cured olives, cardboard, almonds, cocoa Palate: big on olives, and a punch of salinity. Medium acidity, moderate body. I want some canned spiced sardines in olive oil and a crusty loaf of bread with this. I'd like to find a fresher bottling, as I'm feeling it creep up to the 1 year mark.

Pale amber. Almonds, green olives, saline, varnish. Dry, full body, medium plus acidity. Bottled in 2018, past prime; remember to check your bottle dates for Sherry.

Delicious wine. First notice the nice level salinity with low acidity. Then you get the lovely nuttiness with a little lemon tea note.
