Purchased from the Bodega during a trip to Jerez, just as it was released.
A nice sense of flor and really quite refined for an ‘en rama’ release. This almost seems to be reticent and within itself a little bit. Still, it’s sherry and it’s great, a beautiful light gold in the glass and refreshing and uplifting on the palate.
A wonderful couple of days at the Horse Fair and some good sherry drank over the last couple of weeks in Andalusia. La Ina Fino, only €7.50 a bottle ( ridiculous! ) has been the standout value wine for me. Will have to see where I can source it from in the UK!

Garrigue and liquorice emerge as the wine takes in the air.
This is old vine grenache that has spent time in neutral stainless steel tanks where it has been allowed to find itself over time. It has such volume and substance and lasts for an age on the palate. Its ridiculously good and should be for a few years yet.
Can't recommend this enough; every time I drink it I am delighted.

Cherries and earth and tannin.
Plenty about this, layers and depth and interest. In 5 years this will be great!

Fresh, menthol notes. Savoury depth.
