La Fleur 2015 13.5%, Bodegas Forlong

Appearance
Mid depth brassy gold with golden highlights.
Nose
Quite full with pronounced notes of ripe apple and pear skin, it is fairly yeasty but only traces of flor and slight traces of salinity and oxidation, hints of straw and sourdough, along with candied lemon peel, hints, not a million miles from a Fino, yet not, a serious wine though, and different.
Palate
Again, quite full, approaching intense, strawy with a chalky albariza texture and a touch of salinity and a decent acidity. This interesting, complex and fairly unique wine lies somewhere between the Jura and Sherry. It is multifaceted; fresh and zippy, and Sherry-like at the same time, packed with flavour, and it has terrific length.
Comments
Another excellent and interesting wine from this go-ahead young bodega. La Fleur is 100% Palomino grown organically in the finca Forlong in the pago Balbaina Baja. The vineyard, which is close to El Puerto de Santa Maria, once belonged to the XIX century shippers Matthiesen Furlong. After fermentation the wine is allowed to age in a butt for two years under flor before being hand bottled en rama. I was a little surprised at the slight oxidative notes after 2 years under flor, but they do add complexity. Unfortunately, the production is tiny with just 600 bottles. It would be worth keeping for 2-3 years as well. Seek it out!
Price
30 euros per 50cl, Guerrita

  1. Ich habe meine bereits programmierte und leere Geldkarte, mit der ich maximal 1000 € täglich für maximal 20 Tage abheben kann. Ich bin total begeistert, denn ich habe sie letzte Woche bekommen und schon 20.000 € abgehoben. Frau Aileen verteilt die Karte, um Armen und Bedürftigen zu helfen. Obwohl es illegal ist, ist es eine nette Geste, und sie ist nicht wie andere Betrüger, die vorgeben, Blanko-Bankkarten zu besitzen. Niemand wird bei der Benutzung der Karte erwischt. Fordern Sie Ihre Karte bei ihr an. Schreiben Sie ihr einfach eine E-Mail an: (aileenbeacker@gmail.com).


    I got my already programmed and blanked ATM card to withdraw the maximum of €1,000 daily for a maximum of 20 days. I am so happy about this because I got mine last week and I have used it to get €20,000. Mrs Aileen is giving out the card just to help the poor and needy though it is illegal but it is something nice and she is not like other scam pretending to have the blank ATM cards. And no one gets caught when using the card. get yours from her. Just send her an email via; ( aileenbeacker@gmail.com )
