Medium golden yellow in color with a vibrant glowing radiance. Dense and expressive notes of acetone, vanilla, chamomile, hints of cask and lemon and veiled in notes of pure flor. Very pleasant, soft and round in the mouth with crisp and fresh acidity that falls on the finish, leaving a slight hollow space, dead center on the palate. Tame but nice flavor of lemon, green apple and mineral on the palate. I'm assuming with the date highlighted July of 07 on the label, that this bottle may have been past its prime. Well, all the more reason to experience a fresher bottle in the future! June 20, 2008 | | Comment

Light yellow color to this wine with a nose that is pure sherry. Flor, light wood, with touches of vanilla, minerals and acetone. In the mouth this wine is light, and soft with a medium acidity and a light creaminess. Somewhat flat on the finish as well, and I feel that this is over the hill. Nice flavors of apple, and minerals, but the bottle has a bottling date of Oct 2007 and we´re in July '08...Though not all the way gone, it´s freshness has been compromised. I really look forward to a fresher sample where the nice delicate flavors have a bit more to show. Overall though delicate sea falvors and green apple with touches of grass. I suspect this is a gem of a wine in it´s youth. more June 20, 2008 | | Comment
