I love these so much. Some of the more interesting whites I have ever had. Sort of remind me of LdH Blanco…but different

While I have great respect and appreciation for wines like these I simply don’t have the palate for them.

Iodine, beef blood, smoky BBQ. I’m sure this is lights out with a dry aged ribeye but a 2oz. pour is enough for me. Very reminiscent of the 1969 Colares I had a few months back. Properly stored. — 9 months ago

Nice, I've also had this '85, but not the Reserva. Fun stuff.

@Severn Goodwin good catch, I adjusted the identified wine. About to try it with flank stank and charred scallions. Cheers!
