Oaky and funky/oxidative, but there is still an appealing freshness of fruit

Fruity spiced nose of pear, apricot, vanilla, and sherry-like oxidative qualities. Tingling lingering concentration.

Consistent with previous bottles. Loads of spicy aromatics, yet more floral notes poke through on this one. Round edges & fuller bodied. This plays off the smoked salmon we are having beautifully. Shows a honeyed lemon note which lingers on the palate. Whites from Rioja are often overlooked, they shouldn't be.

The nose is loaded with layered spicy aromatics. The palate is round & lush with a slight oxidative character. The spiciness emerges on the back of the palate. It takes a bit of air for this to find footing, then it rounds into excellent balance.
