Ube de Ubérrima Miraflores Palomino Fino 2021

8.9

2024 vintage.
Definitely for acidity fans.
We took a quick turn from Montilla-Moriles a couple nights ago ( Oloroso) to Sanlúcar ( heck, it shot up to 78° here). With fried fresh fish, a nice palate cleansing quaffer(11.5°)Seashore, Salinity, Granny smith’s, chalky as the soil. Not the most complex drink but we’re not asking. What these wines provide is a glimpse into a lost ( becoming revived) world of the “ Sherry Triangle “, and the over 100 grape varieties that were lost to commerce and the sweet Sherry trade. We’re drinking table wine as if we were there in the mid 1800’s. It’s nice to have winemakers such as Ramiro Ibáñez working to restore some of what was lost.
2 days later it’s a fine, more rounded quaff. The sharp edges gone, and therefore the impression of depth increased. Nice showing. — 15 days ago

Aromas slightly similar to sauterne (that noble rot smell) bit with candied orange peel, a big body with sweet mandarin oranges in the syrup juice bit with some acid to cut through. My kind of dessert wine! — 2 years ago
