October 11, 2015 - Exotic wine. Olive brine, pickles, pears, and butterscotch. Light-bodied with silky texture.

April 22, 2015 - Only had a small glass. Consistent with my previous note (18 months ago) but things have definitely mellowed out a lot. Will drink my last bottle before the end of 2015. Needs sharp cheeses or rich seafood.

January 11, 2015 - Drinking well, maybe a bit past its best, which is surprising for Palomar. I have not been very lucky with Rias Baixas 2011 anyway. Palomar 2011 has integrated the oak, and displays pure fruit and some minerality, but lacks a bit of punch or vibrancy. Goes very well with fish, though.
