Manzanilla Pasada Barbiana 15%, Rodriguez La-Cave (Delgado Zuleta)

Appearance
Clean mid strawy gold with burnished tints, legs.
Nose
Full and very complex, toast, oily nutty notes, slightly bitter, yeasty, hints of autolysis, dough and a slight trace of oxidation, hints of cereal, even beer. Most attractive and interesting.
Palate
Similar, pungent, very slightly oily feel, the complex bitter and autolytic flavours along with the trace oxidation give an impression of age beyond its 5-6 years, very long, lovely.
Comments
A beautiful Manzanilla Pasada - the ultimate expression of Manzanilla, exquisitely complex and subtle. This comes from the Rodriguez La-Cave soleras.
Price
An almost ridiculously inexpensive 6 euros ex bodega.
