Fairly pale golden straw, a shade darker than some Finos, legs.
Nose
Quite full, dry with some Flor bitterness, bread dough, almond and a trace of oxidised apple and a hint of dry scrub in the background. At a guess, about 4-5 years old. The barrel fermentation of the wine can be seen, as there is that hint of oxidation and fullness of character.
Palate
Similar to nose, quite full and generous, and nicely rounded, some gentle yellow fruit balances nicely with the dry Flor character, and there is a gentle texture and good length.
Comments
A very decent wine. This is Valdespino's entry level Fino, but it is less basic than many. Next up their list is the 10 year old Inocente.
Price
4.50 Euros in Spain, but I haven't seen it in the UK. Importers are Liberty Wines.
