Leesy, oaky, actually can't feel the effect of the 9m under veil. Citrussy apple on the palate. Medium body. Some said that by its leesy character it reminded them of a leesy youngish Meursault. I didn't find this to be particularly interesting.
Quite fruity, more like an orange wine than Vin Jaune. There's peach, small yellow plums - overall intense and clean nose. It feels that there's almost some tannin on the palate and it has a lovely creaminess to it. Lots of oomph to this wine. Complex, enticing. Jam of small yellow plums on the nose and palate. Excellent wine.
This was a very typical Vin Jaune in its intense, dry pungent nose of old cheese, metallic and vinegar notes. Was better with food, but on its own wasn't as enjoyable. On the other hand - we didn't decant it, PnP clearly doesn't work with these wines.
Licorice, pharmacy and sweet vanilla on the nose. Lovely sweet fruits. Rather dense and complex nose and palate. Alcohol can be felt on the finish. A big wine and again more orange than Vin Jaune type.

NV Emilio Hidalgo Fino Especial "La Panesa" 91 Points
Spain, Andalucía, Jerez-Xérès-Sherry
Fresh warm milk, canned meat and buttermilk on the nose. Rather complex, mild milky body. Much more tender than the rest of the wines in the line up.
