Doesn’t feel as if this has moved much in the last six years. Still a deep gold, possibly a little more coppery now. Saline, and recognisably Manzanilla with more depth and complexity and less zing than when released a decade ago. An excellent aperitif to sit and consider. ****

Super expressive from the get go, with really interesting peppery and almondy notes that reminded me of the nutty characters you get from Marc de Bourgogne. Brine, bouillon, green olive, just really intense, and aged but totally intact and not oxidized or tired in any way. Great wine. Lived up to its reputation.

Light honey gold. Briny and fresh, lightly brothy nose, saline, raw nuts, somewhat glycerol palate, long finish, a little prickle, iodine, and lots of sea breeze. Although this wine is now 5 years old, this is my first tasting, so it is perhaps softer and less vital than earlier. Drank as a table wine with tuna and leak casserole.
