    February 9, 2024 - [TASTED AT A WINEBAR @ GRAPES, MUNICH, GERMANY]

    ENGLISH:
    Nose: Funky fino sherry on the nose, salty but also candied light nuts, especially cashews and some macadamia, subtle butter, but also old, oxidized wood laying by the sea, light raisins and some unripe papaya, very aromatic but not loud, clover and wax, later also dried fruit fresh from the oven
    Taste: Similar play in the mouth, Fino and Palo Cortado sherry, oxidative notes, cashew nuts, salt, beeswax, clover, light raisins and light wood, some unripe tropical fruit, medium body, acidity not as intense as you would think, even rather nice and playful, but dry
    Comment: Funky single grape variety bottling with exciting characteristics, a dream for lovers of dry sherries, also develops for a long time in the glass...
