Wonderfully fresh and floral nose, fresh almonds, good depth; lovely tangy acidity and salty notes on the palate, floral and nutty flavours, hint of citrus fruit, very dry but well-balanced, very good length. A classic Fino.
Almost overpowering aromas of quince and apricot, with air some minerality comes through; dry style but wonderfully rich fruit, good acidity, supple; good length.
Colour of a good Bual; deep, quite woody, raisins, hint of nuts, spices, sandalwood, complex, only the slightest VA; on the palate exquisite intensity and tangy acidity, off-dry, perfect weight, nice bitters, hint of candied fruit; very good length, molasses, complete. A rare (6 pipes only) and royal privilege.
Fabulous bitter-sweet Manseng fruit, lovely depth; good weight of fruit, sweet but with wonderful balancing acidity and honeyed flavours; very good length, deliciously refreshing orange zest bitters and rich fruit.
