Light mineral nose with a slight meaty mortadella note. Enters the mouth with that touch of sparkle on the tip of your tongue and then a finish that lasts forever as the minerality and salty acidity coats the sides of your tongue. Lovely.

Blown away by the aromatics on the nose - cedar, pine forest, eucalyptus - a heady mix that reminds of arabian incense. On the palate, a stunning embodiment of cumin and incense again with that nice shiraz kick on the side of the palate of pepperiness. We ate this with some lengua del toro and some carnitas with a chipotle sauce - the combo blew us away.

Stunning dessert wine after 16 years - delicious figuey fruit with black cherry and prune. A true delight.
