Oxidized but still bright. Really fun wine.

I wish every producer held on to wines until they were as incredible as this. Dried citrus, nutty, saline.......very sherry-like. Not for everyone but a serious treat for those who love that style

This is the wine for Peking duck, hands down. Blows the burgundy off the table.

Lovely floral nose. A hint of almonds and orange peel. Good poise and a nice, loose acidity. Lovely and round and supple.

Wow. At Jeff’s recommendation, we sampled this fantastic old white rioja. Mainly viura (85%) with the balance being malvasia, this wine reminds me of an aged ribolla gialla from the Fruili region. Incredible nose of petrol, carmelized lemon peel, and notes reminiscent of a sauternes. Rich palate, with great balance leading to a well-balanced finish. Terrific.
