Great wine to get and hold for 10 yrs — 2 months ago
Nose of cranberry, raspberry, slightly peppery smoke and a hint of Halloween mask latex over a pale red peach, and slightly rusty color and a surprisingly light body. For a 6 year old wine the acidity is still sharp, tart and gently tannic, with a surprising freshness in ripe red fruits, deep rose florals and gentle tannins. As the wine opens, the nose and palate blossomed, into a bouquet of rose, wet dark stone, a bit of dried cactus bramble, a hint of mushroom and crushed ripe red fruit. Oof, delicious. — 9 days ago
I’ve had three bottles of this in the cellar for the last few years and, for no particular reason, haven’t touched them. Tonight I thought I’d pull the cork on one to enjoy with Manchego and Serrano ham, as an appetiser ahead of some Spanish cuisine at home tonight. I can’t recall where I bought these, but they weren’t expensive - and this wine certainly overdelivers for the price. It has a classical, fresh bouquet of blanched almonds, nectarines, and clementines. The palate is medium bodied, juicy, saline and fresher still, with a hint of orange bitters on the finish. Enjoyable stuff! — 2 months ago
This is so fascinating! It’s like nutmeg … or… toasted almonds. Something toasty. Caramel? It’s soooo interesting. I’ve never tasted anything like it. Love it! — 18 days ago

Pretty deep gold , touch of amber . Quite mineral and seashell , gunpowder tinged nose , with apple , touch of apricot and grassy notes . On the palate quite intense and strict acidity , yellow stone fruits , herbal , saline , marine notes . Quite good length and refreshing finish . Good to drink now and over the next 5 years . Quite unique and interesting white this — a month ago
