Phenomenal wine with intense flavor concentration dominated by secondary bio characteristics and elevated with vibrant salinity and subtle oxidation. Prominent texture and body differentiates it from others in its class. An outstanding wine that I’ll be buying again! $24.99/375ml — 2 years ago

100% Pedro Ximenez from vineyards in Moriles Altos, one of the top areas within the Montilla-Moriles appellation. Vines are rooted in albariza (tosca hojaldrada) soils. Aged for an average of 3 years under flor in the solera system and bottled en rama (unfiltered). Intense nose with notes of toasted almonds and yeast. Sharp, very dry and saline on the palate. A very powerful and sapid, quite persistent wine. Umami 💣 — 5 years ago

These never disappoint. Some variation, btl. to btl., but… overall, a great introduction to eating outside when it’s warm. This particular btl. 2016/ bottled in 2024 is like an old boats bottom dipped in iodine and bread yeast on the nose. Lots of mineral, metallic qualities that continue onto the palate along with a sense of caramel that’s present but not cloying. This wine fills your mouth yet remains, at °15.5, quite refreshing. Salt and fruit, ( unripe mangoes,star fruit,,dried papaya)mingle on the finish and linger a long time. — a month ago
