Atlantic Ocean, lite...Notes tomorrow?

192H Update:
Nose has fully saturated oak plank, moist almonds, incredible sweet & saline notes, fermenting green apples, white chocolate bar, white candle wax and fresh yellow apple slice. Palate has almond broth (does that exist?), dried yellow apple, chamomile tea, moist bread, faint green olive (?) with mild saline finish, faint acidity. Damn I do not drink enough Manzanilla!

The En Rama is always potent, but have to say Valdespino’s Fino is probably my favorite.

Totally digging this manzanilla - creamy, briny, like almonds and a dirty martini combined. Refreshing aperitif with Iberico ham pea stew.

These are delicious, elegant and balanced. Just remember, this not an oxidized wine.
