One of my all time favourites.
Last one of 2021 left in the collection. Fell in love with this wine in 2022 during a dinner at La Colombe. Great characterful wine from the west coast. You can taste it’s origin in the briny/kelp like taste with a bit of stone fruit, chamomille/jasmine and a touch of fennel/anise. Always a bit lower on the alcoho and acidityl, which makes it a great early drinker. Can’t wait to try the 2024 with 99 points. — a month ago
Next level. Best of both worlds. Fruit and acid then nuts and complexity. — 3 months ago
Worth all the accolades it receives. Dry, long, complex. — 3 months ago
Single grand cru vineyard. Tasted twice in two days. Grew on me! — 3 months ago
A bench mark 'manzanilla'. Tastes even better after having the opportunity to tast directly from the cask, with a flor layer. — 6 months ago

Fantastic nose with dark mature fruits, complex notes, coffee, soft spices, tobacco, pure chocolate, full bodied on the palate, very fine balanced, layers of mature fruit flavors, toasted cedar, delicios fine tannin and acidity, long, long aftertaste, delicious. 98 DSP — a day ago
