La Gitana Manzanilla Sherry

My last half bottle. See previous note in October 2023. Previous notes apply. From the palomino grape. I’m still trying to “get” Sherry. One day I’ll try a fresh young Manzanilla in Sanlucar de Barrameda with freshly caught cooked Langoustines, as recommended. Light herbal notes with almonds, mouldy apple and medium plus salinity. Light bodied. Yeasty. Bone dry. 15% ABV. — a month ago

La Gitana Manzanilla de Sanlúcar de Barrameda Palomino Fino

A bench mark 'manzanilla'. Tastes even better after having the opportunity to tast directly from the cask, with a flor layer. — 2 months ago

Wellington 20 Years VOS Palo Cortado Sanlúcar de Barrameda Palomino Fino

NV. By the glass selection to have with our first round of tapas including grilled eggplant, red peppers, and onion with a sherry vinegar dressing. Great nose and mouthfeel. Loved it. — a month ago

La Vizcaina El Rapolao Bierzo Mencía 2020

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple hours. The 2020 pours a deep ruby purple with a near opaque core and a magenta rim; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is youthful with notes of Montmorency cherry, tart plums, licorice, purple flowers, cocoa, and gravelly earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. Tasty stuff and a very nice pairing with braised short rib. Drink now through 2040. — 2 months ago

Ultreia Bierzo Godello 2022

2022. We loved the 2020 vintage of this crisp saline white with oysters and I thought I would try the 2022 with a little heartier fare. It paired great with the sausage and white beans and the grilled chicken thighs with stewed summer vegetables. — a month ago

9.1

PnP. Modestly dark purple color. Would never guess Spain from the nose and palate. This is straight up Rhone! Dark cherries, meaty/earthy, some tobacco, and subtle herbs. Nice depth and finish. Solid restaurant list value. — 2 months ago
