Limpid gold. Vibrant, mineral- and oak-tinged citrus and orchard fruit aromas take on a floral nuance with air. Powerful yet lithe in the mouth, offering juicy pear, Meyer lemon and honeysuckle flavors that show a touch...

94+ I loved the beautiful and complex nose of the 2019 Selma, which was more austere and undeveloped than the 2018 I tasted next to it. It has moderate alcohol, 12.5%, and very good freshness and acidity. These are...

The white 2021 Planetes de Nin Carinyena Blanca now has the mention "Vi Blanc de Varietats Antigues" on the label, as Cariñena Blanca is still not allowed by the Priorat appellation (but they are in the process). This has...

The 2022 Selección Albilla is a new top-of-the-range white. It comes from two plots of vines (70% granite and 30% limestone and gravel) one in Villamalea and another one by the winery at a higher altitude, where they find...

The very pale white 2023 Supernova Moll has an herbal nose with notes of Mediterranean herbs, fennel and aniseed, light, fresh, clean and precise. Twenty percent of the wine fermented in 500-liter barrels, but the...

There is a little more oak in the 2020 Valtuille Godello, because they purchased some new 500-liter oak barrels and that's a difference with the 2019. The destemmed grapes were pressed without any maceration, and the...

2019 is a more concentrated and riper year, but the 2019 Terra Vermella felt fresher and more vibrant in the palate than the 2018 I tasted next to it, despite 2018 being a cooler year and both wines having similar alcohol...

The nose offers dried apple, chalk and a touch of aniseed. The palate is velvety and ethereal, with incisive, well-integrated acidity that perfectly complements the wine’s texture. This comes from a high-altitude site in...

The 2022 Macharnudo San Cayetano Vino de Pasto is an unfortified Palomino from Sherry soils, from the famous Macharnudo vineyard in Jerez. The grapes were sun dried for a few hours, and the wine has less biological...

The white 2024 Macharnudo San Cayetano comes from a very old plot of Palomino in Pago Macharnudo, San Cayetano, where the natural concentration is very high. San Cayetano has different exposures, and this is selected from...

Named for the single vineyard from which it is sourced, the Capellanía is a gorgeous Viura from old vines planted in 1945. A mixed bag, the winter was cold and rainy, followed by a sweltering summer; the wine, though, is...

Steely and floral nose of white nuts like macadamias, meringue, star fruit and a touch of green pineapple. Round and full-bodied but surprisingly bright and lively, with vibrant acidity providing the backbone. Really long...

I tasted the saca 1/2018 of the NV 1955 Amontillado Solera Cincuentenario next to other very old Amontillado bottlings from Montilla and Jerez, and it performed magnificently. It's really fine and elegant, with a sharp...

96+ Tasting the 2021 Castiñeiro Espadeiro next to the 2020, I liked it very much. It's elegant and perfumed, pale, delicate and ethereal, a triumph over the adverse conditions of a very challenging year when almost nobody...

The 2021 Pedra de Guix blends one-third Pedro Ximenez, one-third Macabeo and one-third Garnatxa Blanca from Priorat. Fermented in concrete with whole clusters, this golden wine presents a vermouth-like aroma with notes of...
