On the nose it’s almost nubuck leather that’s had a walk by the ocean. White and vaguely yellow flowers.
Miraflores seems to be a spectacular vineyard. Everything I’ve had that says sourced from there is worthwhile.
This…has no edges, no spikes, a complete whole.
On the palate, I get upon entry, the slightest hint of lemon peel. No heavy yeast, no wood showing through. Refreshment that at 15° sure doesn’t feel it.
There’s no heavy there. No overdone evidence of the barrel/butt that this was in. Pure pleasure. But intellectual enough to be quizzical, as I return, return, return. As it warms in the glass and has exposure to air, there’s more of the bodega, the terroir, and the wood coming through. Some of that ineffable lacquer and vaguely mushroom quality that good sherry Carries. Still no trace of heat or imbalance 2-3 hrs. in.
A perfect partner with fried smelts, grilled veg, and Insalata Caprese.
With Randy.

Alsatian White varietal from Michigan. Loads of mouth watering acidity! Complex nose of orange, lemon and white flowers. Lemon-Lime flavors with a hint of fresh cut grass. Minerals and chalk on the finish! Totally interesting! Really delicious! Revisited in November 2022. Still fresh tasting. Reached its peak. — 5 years ago
