Gold coloured, medium(-) intensity. Develped, high intensity nose. Dried fruit with sweetness, dates. Walnuts. After some time almost aromatic. Floral. Restrained acetaldehyd. On the palate dry, medium(+) acidity, medium body. 13,5%. Complexity with the aromas present. Agile, oily texture. Excellent length with drying end. Overell, austere with complexity, an enthralling character. Wow!
From label: 100% pedro ximenez from old bush-trained vines, from differents plots of the Riofrío Alto and Cerro Macho estates. Vinified separately. Either directly pressed and then fermented in traditional concrete jars (tinajas) of 4800 l, or alternatively trodden and fermented in open buckets. In all cases, finished in concrete tanks (tinajas) under "velo de flor" for eight months.

With Goat cheese/Beet Salad Funkified slightly oxd nose. Slight vanilla bean peaks through. Salt mines. Nice texture but fruit is nowhere to be found so it is out of balance for me. No score.

Belle robe jaune paille. Ce vin élevé sous «flor» ou fleur offre des notes d'amande, de paon, de pomme verte et ce caractère oxydé distinctif. En bouche c'est parfaitement sec (à ne pas confondre avec les Pedro Ximenez doux qui ressemble à de l'huile à moteur sucré). La finale est franche et tranchante.

Beschrijving: Karaktervolle, frisse en ziltige witte wijn die in de geur en smaak het meest lijkt op een niet versterkte fino. Schenk als verrassend aperitief, of in combinatie met rauwe vis, zeevruchten of hartige hapjes.

Pommes, noix et un petit relent de sherry! Très particulier comme goût!

Fino style, salty, pure and balanced, inviting & something special.
