Treixadura — 6 months ago
Unfortified, aged under flor single vintage and single vineyard Palomino Fino.
Closer to Jura in character than a ‘usual’ solera aged Fino.
Fresh, vibrant, racy. Clearly oxidative with yeasty & chalky notes, dried herbs but also some shy pear. And loads of salt!
On the palate this is crisp, fresh, bone dry and mineral. Powerful yet with nice freshness & balance. Chalky, salty, with some pears wrapped in bacon, olive brine and whiff of chamomile in the long finish.
I was not convinced upon opening and on day 1. The day after this is very, very drinkable. Bring on the tapas!

Fun and vibrant. Notes of cherry with dried leaf finish. Nice organic wine. — 2 months ago
Bright golden color. Aromas of tropical fruits, white flowers and sea spray. The palate leans more toward pear and unripe peach with a pleasant herbal note on the finish. Mouth filling texture, medium body and crisp acidity. There is a bit of weight (pleasant) but it’s not over the top. Still fresh (opened almost five years past the vintage date) and quite fruit forward. So interesting! — 7 months ago
Medium ruby in color; stewed strawberries, dried herbs, and raspberries on the nose; high acidity; medium tannins; tastes like candied cherries, blood oranges, hibiscus, and a hint of black pepper with a long finish. Nellie and I love it! Pairs really well with pork. — 5 months ago

Very easy drinking with some spiciness at a very reasonable price — 2 months ago
