Flor de Morca Garnacha

Medium purple in color; raspberries, leather, and grilled plums on the nose; medium plus acidity; medium tannins; tastes like stewed strawberries; blood oranges, dried herbs, and clay pots with a long finish. I like it and Nellie likes it with food. — 18 days ago

This is a pretty cool take on non-sherry Palomino. It’s a little salty like fino but doesn’t have the flor notes obviously. — 3 years ago

Côtes du Jura Chardonnay Savagnin 2015

Youngish at sub 10 I suppose for a sav/chard under flor, but this is orgasmic. Worrying feeling ethat 2015 was a sub par year (cold? Wet?) And yet, here we are. Manzanilla salt lick at the end after a second or two is the party piece, apricots, smokey almonds, and all the usual Jura good things beneath. Was introduced to this by the sommelier in spanglais, with me deploying my most broken franglais. Miracles do happen. — 3 years ago

Memory failed me, 2015 a decent vintage for Ch and sav. Makes sense!

Réserve du Caveau Arbois White Blend 2011

Blinded, I was tossing up between a fino sherry and sans ouillage Jura white. Reckon I didn’t do too bad in my guess, but frankly, I was more blown away at how good the wine was than thinking about what it was. It was just so deep and complex… so textural and mineral. Like a mini Vin Jaune! Just a little less intense, which was a plus for drinkability to me.

On the nose, nuts, curry leaves, yeast, grilled lemons, bruised apples, and iodine. Crisp and very textural on the palate. Ah, such a joy to sip on. Fresher, ripe citrus notes too. Heaps of brine. So much so that it just stains the finish. Truly excellent stuff here.

NB: Pretty sure this was made of 100% Savignan, aged under flor.

A mini-VJ, great comment. I really enjoy the complexity of this style of Jura whites as well.

Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico 2037

Vintage 2021 | sometimes I recall the white wine that attracted me so much with a pizza on the Piazza del Campo in Sienna, it was a Verdicchio Dei Castelli di Jesi of which I do not remember the producent. It was the right wine at the right moment that matched great with the food. I do not often drink this Italian wine. Bucci Classico 2021 seems an archetypical one: great balance, vibrant, pleasant. Paired with tortellini with ricotta and citrus zeste. Note to self: should drink it more often. — 2 years ago

Antique Fino Sherry

Oh my! Where do you begin?
N: Go down to the pier and get yourself a bag of salted, buttered, nuts. Saline butterscotch, with mold(good)around the edges.Oranges and flowers, Almonds.
P: Saline, Iodine, brown butter, viscous on the tongue with a long sharp acidic, citrus finish. Marvelous. There’s tobacco and wood when you hold it in your mouth and take in air.
Double fortified to 17°, winter, heavy flor.
Ya!
