Slightly lemony pale strawy gold, light legs.
Nose
Fresh, quite full and soft yet with plenty flor yeastines, traces of almondy bitterness and quince fruit, quite plump, all this yet quite serious.
Palate
Also quite serious, assertive, some salty flor tang, a trace of Marmite and that almondy bitterness, some weight yet a certain leanness, very dry, long and classy, that seriousness needs food though.
Comments
A very good Fino, and a cracking aperitif - it really gets the gastric juices going. It comes from a solera with 9 criaderas and is aged approximately 8 years. This wine was named in honour of Jose Maria Ruiz Mateos' father, Zoilo Ruiz Mateos Camacho, who in a small way established the business which eventually became Rumasa. It was Rumasa's best Fino, and always sold at a premium.
Price
If I remember rightly it was about 10 Euros at the Bodega
