A very odd bottle. Lots of anise, and kind of a medicinal finish. Fairly dry, maybe just barely off-dry. A bottle to contemplate, but not a "yum" sort of bottle at all. An intellectual experience.

This wine is perplexing. If you taste this blind your immediate feeling is WTF is this! Then you begin to take on the subtle interesting characteristics of this wine and say.."let me have another taste" It is like nothing you have tried. Nutty, Salty, with a hint of Kingsford lighter fuel. Zero acidity, an alcohol kick somewhere between Mad dog and Mescal. I am glad it comes in a 500ml bottle because this stuff has legs! Enjoy after a meal and try to decipher it's complexity, not easy.

Maybe should not have been but a pleasant surprise, fully alive and lovely at 13 years, excellent PX-based fino.

Nutty, sea water, bruised apple, olive brine.
Hard to get into right until you try it with some Iberico or any extremely garilicky dish.

Lovely nutty, briney sipping. Quickly loses complexity after opening, so don't hold back and save the rest for the next day.
