Such an amazing value! I feel the smell of Guadalquivir meeting the Atlantic, dry and high acid, elegant nose of ocean, almonds and sand. Take me to Sanlúcar any day, any time — 21 days ago

Leather, old shoes, toffee on the nose
Salt, burnt sugar and barrel.
Palate is the seashore, brine, loooong finish, very umami. Perfect with sardine and tomato toasts. — 5 years ago

This is Manzanilla Pasada La Bota No 90 Capataz Cabo

Pouring a glass with the Vinloq System
DAY 1
👃Iodine, seawater, a touch of oxidation, and salty minerality
👅Brine leads the way with iodine, nuts, herbal notes, and other flavors that are hard to pin down but are enjoyable.
These flavors lead to some bitterness before the very long and enjoyable finish. This is full bodied and amazing

The remaining wine was Slow Decanted in my refrigerator

I returned to this wine multiple times over the following weeks. My experience was similar each time

DAY 20
Same aromas, flavors and intensities as day 1. So rich and resonant. The finish is deep, mineral laced, seawater, nuts & herbals. No signs of fruit. Extremely long finish

That a sherry aged under biologically active flora stays fresh for days & weeks is not surprising. But I still protect them because it is not a wine that I prefer in large servings. Rather, I enjoy a small glass frequently. They are super food friendly and a perfect match with many foods including aged cheeses, cured hams, and even sushi. Also superb in the correct cocktail

This was a total delight over 4-5 weeks 💕 — 2 years ago

Sherry-cask aged Viura with a dash of Manzanilla sherry.
This is funky, salty, yeasty with candied fruit and toasted nuts. Yet it remains fresh and highly drinkable with a touch of dried apricot in the finish.
Absolutely unique and wonderful. — 6 years ago

My last half bottle. See previous note in October 2023. Previous notes apply. From the palomino grape. I’m still trying to “get” Sherry. One day I’ll try a fresh young Manzanilla in Sanlucar de Barrameda with freshly caught cooked Langoustines, as recommended. Light herbal notes with almonds, mouldy apple and medium plus salinity. Light bodied. Yeasty. Bone dry. 15% ABV. — 4 months ago

N: Big petroleum nose, citrus, vanilla, rind, saline, very clear.
P: Delicate palate, bitter finish, crisp apples, not bone dry, some wood influence. Long textural finish that’s almost sappy.
Delicious! — 4 years ago

What’s that you see on the label? Well, of course, it’s the outline of Spain’s most ferocious animal, El Toro! Although this version of manzanilla is not the cleanest you’ll find it still whisks you back to traversing the sunflower laden highways of Andalucía with nothing but a chilled bottle of this wonderfully dry sherry, some dry cured ham, a loaf of crusty bread and some pungent queso cabrales. Olé, my fellow oenophiles, close your eyes and imagine your back in the land of Fería and Sevillanas. — 6 years ago
