Pale yellow; lemon/lime pith, pungent blossoms, herbal notes, silex, seabreeze with smokey undertones; a citrus, mineral driven, salivating palate with a tacky mouth feel. Grapes on Argile and schist soils. — 5 years ago
Dark golden color. Lots of minerals, seabreeze and wet stone combined with some forest floor and funk notes and some smoke. Broad and almost oily mouth feel. Fesh lemon and grapefruit, balanced acidity. Still more structure and minerality than fruit and excellent with seafood. Thuis is what properly aged and mature 1er cru Chablis is about. — 6 years ago
Whoaaaa it’s a heady wine! Way complex, way deep thought-inducing but texturally it is more supple than one would imagine. Everything from seabreeze, licorice and roses on the nose give way to red cherries and white pepper on the palate. Bright with a tender bite. — 4 years ago
Pale golden in colour.
Shy nose, bright acidity and a saline, stony minerality on the palate.
Lemon juice, starfruit, some green herbs, seabreeze, wet pebbles. Actually, this shows very young, nervous and tight and IMHO it could use a tad more charm, rondeur, richesse. Maybe some extra cellartime will do the trick..? — 5 years ago
The freshest of their 3 single vineyard Manzanillas. 100% Palomino from the Callejuela vineyard In Sanlúcar de Barrameda, located near the Guadalquivir River and the Atlantic Ocean. Four years of static aging under flor (no younger wine added). Pale gold. Fresh, lively. Seabreeze. — 3 years ago
Flavio's dolcetto is glorious. The terroir shows in the glass with the strength of nature, deep ruby colour and intense, balsamic aromas. The wine is powerful, lively, clean and well balanced. The first sips are dry and masculine with slightly animal and vinous scents, but almost immediately the fruit comes forward, delicately, black and tart cherries, wild plums. Then, the balsamic aromas take over, intense, inhebriating : licorice, anise, eucalyptus, spearmint, seabreeze, mediterranean herbs, blood orange. It's grand. The terroir here shows its royalty, the forty-to-eighty-year vines do the rest to let Flavio work his magic. As the wine breathes in the juice gets softer, putting in light a smooth landscape with strawberries and fresh cream, tobacco and toffee. In the mouth the wine is broad, savoury, alcoholic, deep. Great persistence and length even at day 2 and 3 !
Outrageous pleasure for the price ...
I've definitely gone under the spell !! — 5 years ago
