  Swoonworthy. One of the best bottles of Cepas Vellas I've ever had and showing ridiculous depth and character relative to what it had just a few years ago. A mineral bomb on the nose combining a slight gunpowder funk (mild in comparison to the 2007 of this) with pure oceanic scents of seashells and seabreezes. The fruit is pure and cooling, a spa treatment for the palate with the fruit of an Alpine white with the refreshment factor ratcheted up with cucumber, white flowers, and that intense ocean brine that reverberates on the back end like you've just swallowed an oyster. Has to be one of the greatest seafood wines in existence. What smart people buy instead of dropping C-notes on trophy Chablis.

  Dense and buttery nose initially with a hint of boiled eggs (not in a bad way). Complex, salty nose with pronounced minerality, like air by the sea - damp iodine. Also fennel, florals rather than fruits. Concentrated palate with high accidity, also very chalky. There's tannin of the skin contact and certain filling from it. With time in the glass it develops a very beautiful floral aromatics.

  A year in the cellar has certainly paid off. Mineral, chalky bouquet, citrus, saltyness on the nose, with air some floral/sweet nuances develop. Viscosity on the high side, quite round and creamy, stony minerality, green apple, may be grapefruit bitterness on the palate as well as pickled lemon. Finish is quite long. This is deep and serious now. Excellent.
