March 21, 2023 - Medium golden yellow. Bright and clean. Nose quiet sherry notes. Palate is a different story with lively and complex blend of sherry, tropical fruit, honey balanced beautifully with a fine acidic backbone. Intense +++ fresh +++ and very long finish.

December 31, 2022 - Not decanted. A deep golden colour, slightly sherryish on the nose a palate with a medium finish. Good but not a good as I remember. Going downhill or just not a great bottle?

May 12, 2022 - Golden, bronzed colour - huge oily rivulets. Strange and irony, briny nose. Nutty, waxy, mushroomy sensations. Dried oranges with cloves in. Caramelised ginger. Ancient dust. Uncompromisingly authentic and idiosyncratic. Tremendously convincing and serious. But also playful and humorous. Powerful and memorable. A great, great wine. Be in no doubt.

April 24, 2022 - Olor a bodega, elegancia absoluta, serio en nariz, complejo, notas clásicas de la casa pero con más terciario que los Gravonia o Tondonia Reserva. Frutos secos, yodado, polvos de talco. En boca tiene acidez para 30 años más de guarda, glicérico, largo final. El vino de la noche.
