  Magnífica la evolución de este As Sorte que si bien comienza algo reducido pronto da paso a una franca expresión frutal, con notas de fruta blanca y fruta con hueso, apuntes florales, algo de aromáticas y cierta mineralidad. En boca la entrada es muy buena, pasa cremoso, con suave salinidad, notable frescura, delicados amargos, largo y con profundidad. Rafa destacó en la cata que era más importante la parcela que la variedad.

  At Lyles. Feels like this is just properly open for business: green apple, white flower, a herb-like savoury edge and a mineral backdrop, great balance of richness and freshness. Plenty of time and interest still left. ****

  CH and I thoroughly enjoyed this wine with an elegant and beautifully prepared and creative dinner at Terra Bistro on the last night of our week long ski vaca in Vail CO, 2015. Perfectly paired with spicy tuna, scallop and other fish dishes. this wine knocked our socks off. Complex minerality herbaceous fennel, white floral notes and at 100. the price point seemed like a great value...amazing wine with such complexity and harmony. well done.
