Rating: Guia Proensa 98/100, Robert Parker 93/100, Guia Penin 93/100
This wine is considered one of Spain’s greatest whites! “It offers aromas of toast, lees, minerals, baked spices, apricot, and tropical fruits. Well-spiced on the palate with a creamy texture, superb concentration, and richness, this beautiful success is a Verdejo like no other.” (Robert Parker - April 2010)

Drunk in 2013 after 2 hours in a decanter. A great wine, still at its peak. The nose is dominated by white flowers and citrus; the palate is rich with a full-bodied, mouth-watering texture—the alcohol is not noticeable—and a long finish. Highly recommended
