9.0

Unusual, unfortified Fino-style / Pálido wine from the north of Andalusia. Blend of Aris/Airén (40%), Palomino (30%) and Pedro Ximénez (30%) from organically farmed vineyards in Villaviciosa de Córdoba in Sierra Morena, in the north of Córdoba, quite far from Montilla-Moriles and Jerez (actually, this is northernmost sherry-style producer in Andalusia). Aged for 6 years in solera system under flor. Intense nose. Green olives, caramel, curry notes. Full-bodied, bolder than most Jerez Finos. Super savory, lots of umami. Long, salty finish. — a year ago

I'm on the famous Camino de Santiago de Compostela, in the beautiful city of Salas, Northern Spain. Finished my second full day of walking (avg. 15 miles w).

Bought the bottle at the local market. Way too exhausted to discern specifics. But, it's a good wine and my feet hurt a little less the more of this I drink.

¡Cheers and Buen Camino! — 5 years ago

At five years old this was a very nice Crianza Rioja that had aged perfectly. Nice balance and smooth. Pleasant nose and drinkable on its own but complements Spanish food, especially paella, very well. — 3 years ago

Deep purple with wide lavender edges. Intriguing nose of red cherries, black cherries, toasted oak, and dried herbs going on. This is a bit of a hard one to put a finger on. Certainly not an old school Tempranillo, nothing austere here but also not a strictly Americanized, homogeneous bottle either. A bit tight initially but soon blossoms into something very nice. Plenty of coffee, spice, and smoked tobacco on the palate. Dark fruit, oak, and menthol, also. Middle to long finish with even more pleasant spice. — 6 years ago
