Probably the richest Manzanilla I’ve ever had. From Valdespino house, single vintage! And in a reisling style bottle. Evocative nose w such strong notes of sea spray, hearts of palm, star fruit; palate is notably broad & intensely long, w same aroma notes repeated on palate along with all kinds of complex layers of Brazil nuts & oxidized white fruits. Tasted blind friend thought Jura at first. Just absolutely marvelous & am kicking myself for not buying more, though a seriously limited production. Just wow. Perhaps tasting was influenced by a giddy Knicks win but ain’t that the fun….
