Strawy, golden, only very slightly darker than Una Palma, legs.
Nose
Full, lots of Flor, salty and bitter, a trace drier than Una Palma and less fruity. Still a Fino, but a hint of autolysis and that oxidation which is beginning to lean towards Amontillado.
Palate
Noticeable increase in glycerine giving palate a rounder feel, but still has that bitter saline Flor character, full, tangy and very long. Lovely.
Comments
Nearing the cusp where Fino begins to change into Amontillado. This wine is 8 years old, from the second criadera, and still under Flor, and was bottled "en rama" in October 2011 for release in November. (Valdespino's Fino Inocente is sold at about this age).
Price
About £18.50 (50cl)
