Bright chestnut to amber with copper glints.
Nose
Attractive almondy nuttiness and comparatively youthful oxidation with slightly savoury and saline notes. There are hints of almond cooked in caramel (garrapiñada) and toasted egg yolk turrón. along with faint hints of oak. Quite young but none the worse for that.
Palate
Faint elements of dried fruit join all that savoury oily nuttiness. The wine is dry, tangy and fairly light with an appealing salty hint and generous follow through with a good long clean finish.
Comments
The bodega, which is also an almacenista (they supply Lustau), only bottles Manzanilla and the other wines are only sold on draught (en granel). It is a shame as they are good, but without a label they can't really get the promotion they deserve.
Price7 euros per litre, draught ex bodega
