  January 14, 2023 - Spanish fun day one (N&J's place, Canberra): From Coravin. Medium minus intensity aromas, slight peach, sulphur, saline notes, a very slight off note - like rubber - is a touch confronting; this is sealed under plastic cork which may be part of the challenge, also a little almond meal. On the palate it's quite lemon sherbet, a tiny spritzy note, tends to medium plus intensity acidity, drying texture. Meh.
  
  Note - had the rest of this bottle later with barbecued octopus and the off note had dissipated, the citric and acid notes, as well as the slight salinity really worked well. As it was a sunny day we almost felt we were in San Sebastian

  Light gold with a little spritz. At first there’s a little funk, but it blows off pretty quickly. Then we get into some really fresh lemon-lime soda and Asian pear aromas, the scent of flowers on the breeze and a healthy dose of wet gravel. On the palate the wine is zippy and fresh with high acid; mouthwatering and fruity. No complaints, but no fireworks either, and that’s okay!

  Opened after being sealed with a vacuvin and stored in the fridge. The effervescence has completely dissipated, but I am left with a delicious wine with the same flavors as the first night and no signs of decline aside from the faded spritz. Finished during dinner prep.

  August 9, 2022 - Amarillo pálido, muy blanco. Aroma medio- bajo, fruta blanca con hueso y algo de flor blanca. Boca fresca y joven, bastante acidez, algo de aguja y final breve y algo salado.
  El Txacoli se elabora con la variedad Hondarrabi Zuri , en francés Courbu, que se cria en el país vasco, y zonas de Cantabria y Burgos, asi como también sur de Francia. No hay que pretender en este vino más que frescura y juventud, sin ningún otro tipo de complicaciones.
  Y es que la cepa utilizada no da para más. Vino interesante para tomar como aperitivo o comidas ligeras.
