This is a steal of a deal. Balanced acidity. Honey meets white flowers and grassy gooseberry. — 3 years ago

Perfect Albariño. Eating local Mallorcan seafood cooked a la plancha at a decades old restaurant recommended by Ferran Adrià. — 6 years ago

2015 vintage. Plenty of youth but starting to batten down the aging hatches. Smoke, charcuterie board and lavender in the nose. Bigger than most Pessac-Leognan reds with a medium/medium-heavy body. Also chunkier than most Pessac-Leognan reds with big plum and charcoal on a decent finish. Thinking it'll top out in a decade but wouldn't be surprised if this were opened in...say...2040...and you wished you had more. An affordable cellar candidate and drinking solidly now, — 2 years ago

Very impressed by the Palmas series, a special release of “en rama” sherries from selected casks from the Tío Pepe solera. Traditionally, cellarmasters in Jerez would mark exceptional casks with a chalk drawing of a palm tree branch (palma in Spanish), potentially adding more branches if those wines continued to show finesse and delicacy as they aged. To make the selection, González Byass’ invites different guests (mostly wine critics and somms) every year, an honor that befell Ferran Centelles (El Bulli) in 2020.

The 2020 Una Palma comes from three casks from the Tio Pepe solera with 6 years of aging under flor, bottled unfined and unfiltered (en rama). Sharp nose with notes of almonds, yeast and hints of citrus. Fresh, mineral and very saline. Much more intense aromas and flavors than the regular Tio Pepe — 3 years ago
