In a week of brilliant wines from all over this was for me the best of them all. Enough mineral power to set it apart from the crowd but more fruit and expression than the crowd expected from a fino. Really excellent. It is fortunate that there isn’t too much more of it or this blog would become a fanpage. (I absolutely love this wine.)

Apparently a second “palma” is to be released a few years down the road with a few more years under flor and it is going to be fascinating to see what that flor action does to this wine. Would also be interesting to see what happens with time in bottle – but for that I would have to keep some long enough.
