A single vineyard or “ Pago “ 9K from the Atlantic, In Sanlucar de Barrameda. Andalucia, Spain. Palomino Fino grown there since the 1800’s at least.
4 years under flor.
N: Very oxidative w the sea, vanilla in the background.
P: The creamiest semi salty 15° dream of the sea.,so easy going down, all the rough edges worn off. Slight kick of wood and vanilla. But old, not a kick in the face.
At15°, a wee bit dangerous in it’s innocence.
Come back after a day in the fridge, it’s got a heady/heavy marzipan nose that hits your palate bone dry. A wonderful juxtaposition of worlds. Still has that briny finish so nice in Manzanilla and long.

This run of about 13 PHENOMENAL wines I'm posting are from the SQN wine dinner/WNH interview I did at @Shawn R 's house last night. I was like a kid in a candy store on Christmas. What an absolutely EPIC night! Love ya brother!

Jonata is new to me, but I know their pedigree background, so I'm glad to have finally experienced a wine of theirs. This SB/Semillon was a white wine that my wife couldn't stop revisiting and one that has me currently on their website hoping to buy some. More lemon characteristics here than the SQN, but the younger age on it still gave it an elegance. This white flowers, crisp apple and lemon peel at 10-yrs is a total standout and stunner. — 7 years ago

From Bodegas Alvear, all Pedro Ximinez
Vineyards since the 1700’s.
8 yrs. under flor in Montilla.
Big buttery, old boats(wood) nose, pepper.
Pepper on the tongue, some butterscotch, salinity. The mouthfeel is ridiculously seductive.
I used a bit to deglaze pan of merguez sausages…Yah!

Bright briar fruit and black pepper initially, fleshing out into blueberry pie and baking spice on the second night. Absolutely delicious, juicy, spicy Mencia with both muscle and finesse-both weighty and low alcohol. What a steal from the Jose Pastor portfolio. — 6 years ago
