  This was very good after a 3 hour decant and absolutely brilliant at the 7 hour mark. Judicious oak, honeysuckle, lemon curd, and a saline shellfish finish. One of Spain’s best white wines without question- give it a very long decant or more cellar time.

  The nose is reminiscent of chenin in a way- it has that sharp, slightly resinous note. On the palate, this is distinctive and delicious with lemon curd, an appealing richness, and a little bit of oxidative nuttiness starting to creep in. Outstanding and more mature than I was expecting- not sure if this was representative.

  amazingly paired with wood fire roasted peaches with prosciutto and ricotta. gold colored with scents of the sea and stone fruits. medium bodied with good acidity. plenty of peach and quince with loads of salinity and mineral tones. tasty and tart on the finish. straight up delicious.

  My overall impression of this is similar to the previous reviewer, though I found it more enjoyable. The palate had none of the bitterness that some wines with this aromatic profile had, and also in some ways reminded me of a bit older white burg. Was an excellent pairing with a creamy pasta dish. I would be curious to know what this tasted like a bit younger with more fruit on the palate.

  First time trying this wine, and it is certainly interesting. The aromatics are enticing, with white peach fruit floating above a salty sea undertone. Where I struggle with it is on the palate. The aromas suggest that there would be some amount of fruit, but instead it’s a mineral bath, salty and bracing. It’s intellectually fascinating due to the juxtaposition of the aromatics and palate expression, but not exactly much fun. Needs oysters.
