Dark yellow. Tertiary notes with honey yellow flowers, quince and almonds. Lovely tertiary aromas without being oxidative. The palate is on the plush side. At peak now.

DG 03/2008 Orange and lemon peel, saffron, toasted butter, bread, some pastries, salted caramel, old book, baked apples, peaches, pepper, ginger, some oxidative character, beef broth, some nuts, umami. Very dense and velvety texture, joyful acidity makes the wine very dynamic. It's so good, a very pleasant moment to have it. 94pt

Poor Excuses (Taberna Palo Cortado - Madrid): Oldie and over-the-hill for some but pure delight and elegance to me. The strength of the bubble has already passed and now it is compensated with honeyed pastry notes along with rotten jasmine flowers. On the palate it is a bit short but with a dense texture but well balanced by a surprising acidity. Delicious aftertaste. By comparison I prefer my last 2004, more vital and profound.
Vetusta y pasadita para algunos pero para mi pura delicia y elegancia. La fuerza de la burbuja ya pasó y ahora se compensa con notas melosas de pastelería junto con flores de jazmín pochas por el paso del tiempo. En boca se queda un poco corta pero con una textura densa y bien equilibrada por una sorprendente acidez. Delicioso retrogusto. Por comparación me quedo con mi última 2004, más vital y profunda.

From magnum. Round and ripe but hollow in the middle.

From magnum. A little flabby across the midpalate, the palate overall lacked definition.
