Notes : Guia Proensa 98/100, Robert Parker 93/100, Guia Penin 93/100
This wine is considered one of Spain's greatest whites! "It offers a toasty, leesy, mineral, baker's baking spice, apricot and tropical scent. Well-spiced on the palate with a creamy texture, superb concentration and richness, this fine achievement is a Verdejo like no other." (Robert Parker - April 2010)

Drank in 2013 after 2 hours decanting. Great wine, perfectly ripe. Nose of white flowers and citrus fruit, rich mouthfeel, no alcohol, long finish. Recommended
