Very pale gold, bright and clean, very light legs.
Nose
Full, assertive, lots of flor and hints of autolysis, traces beach sand with a trace of the complexity of Manzanilla pasada, very attractive.
Palate
Fresh and tangy, quite lean surprisingly but "punzante", very clean and yeasty with attractive hint of bitterness at the finish, quite a serious wine for a straightforward Manzanilla. Good.
Comments
Not wine from a solera bought from Pilar Aranda, so I don't know whence it comes, but it is certainly high quality. Higher quality than the label would suggest. Alvaro Domecq wines are of superior quality and are worth looking out for.
Price
I bought this in Jerez for 6 or 7 euros, but I'm not sure if it is available in the UK
