Community Tasting Notes 9

  July 21, 2023 - Very good example of its genre. Nose is fairly massive, with heaps of baker’s yeast, leavened bread dough, spices, steel and a touch of citrus rind. Palate is a bit more circumspect - bone dry, with a nice sense of poise, but no fireworks. Like pretty much all fino, this is a food-oriented wine, and I couldn’t manage more than a couple of glasses in one sitting. Much more ‘special’, aromatically-speaking, than the swathes of industrial cooking sherry found on supermarket shelves in the UK, but not special enough to make me want to buy it again.

  April 13, 2023 - Mint, dough, floral, apple skin, lime juice, quince notes. Airing reveals clean, sunlit, buttery palate. High concentration, balanced.

  December 23, 2022 - Xmas 2022; 12/20/2022-12/27/2022 (Matt and Marta’s): 2022 bottling. Quite full and medium gold in colour, plenty of body to this wine, plenty of yeasty dough and ripe stone fruits, some salinity and a long finish.A very interesting take on fino from a single vineyard, less cut than I’m used to with fino but great with a wide range of tapas

  October 9, 2021 - Phoenix Palace and Regents Park Lunch: Lovely - well put together, nutty, aromatic, super precise. A more full mid palate than one sometimes gets with fino, and a very welcome 15% abv. Whenever I drink wine like this I wonder why I don’t drink more sherry.
  
  If this were a line in a song it it would be Cyndi Lauper singing “you with the sad eyes” in True Colors.
