Fino Una Palma Jerez-Xérès-Sherry Palomino Fino 2020

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

Tio Pepe Tres Palmas Jerez Palomino Fino 1835

N: Salty dried butterscotch/caramel, Seashore, old boats, rot in the best of ways.
P: Sweet but no… upon entry, the impression is of something unctuous and sweet, for a bit of a second, then DRY. Yellow and gold flowers/melon,
heady at 16°. Great w baby artichokes and Parm and pan seared Branzino.
Varnish lacquer,
Really fine weirdo stuff. I’ve never splurged for the Quattro Palmas…but….

fine weirdo stuff..

Naturelle Frizz Malvasia blend 2021

Depois de 7 anos reencontro este vinho que teve a assinatura alterada de Frizz para Frisante, seguindo com a mesma e perigosa facilidade de se bebê-lo. Leve, agradabilíssimo de se tomar, principalmente em dias ensolarados para receber o por-do-sol com palmas, paz na mente-coração e festa na alma. — 2 years ago
