Light on the nose, but a full character of a cabernet. Buttery and smooth.
Sour+sweet notes and a nice, strong finish with tannins. A good blend, not much specific flavor profiles.
Paired with roasted salmon, wild rice, and sauteéd greens.
Paired with a cheesesteak.
Paired with cassoulet
Very drinkable. Aerated somewhat upon dispensing. — 4 years ago

Elegant, balanced Fino. 100% Palomino from Macharnudo Alto, the highest point in Jerez and one of the region’s “grand crus”(also the source of Valdespino’s Inocente Fino and Tío Diego Amontillado). Fermented in old casks and aged for 10 years. — 4 years ago

This is Manzanilla Pasada La Bota No 90 Capataz Cabo

Pouring a glass with the Vinloq System
DAY 1
👃Iodine, seawater, a touch of oxidation, and salty minerality
👅Brine leads the way with iodine, nuts, herbal notes, and other flavors that are hard to pin down but are enjoyable.
These flavors lead to some bitterness before the very long and enjoyable finish. This is full bodied and amazing

The remaining wine was Slow Decanted in my refrigerator

I returned to this wine multiple times over the following weeks. My experience was similar each time

DAY 20
Same aromas, flavors and intensities as day 1. So rich and resonant. The finish is deep, mineral laced, seawater, nuts & herbals. No signs of fruit. Extremely long finish

That a sherry aged under biologically active flora stays fresh for days & weeks is not surprising. But I still protect them because it is not a wine that I prefer in large servings. Rather, I enjoy a small glass frequently. They are super food friendly and a perfect match with many foods including aged cheeses, cured hams, and even sushi. Also superb in the correct cocktail

This was a total delight over 4-5 weeks 💕 — 2 years ago

Yes, it’s another cardbordeaux, but it’s dangerously easy to drink and very tasty — 3 years ago

Leather, old shoes, toffee on the nose
Salt, burnt sugar and barrel.
Palate is the seashore, brine, loooong finish, very umami. Perfect with sardine and tomato toasts. — 4 years ago
