Ximénez-Spínola Fermentación Lenta 2018
Bright pale gold. Lifted nose of preserved lemon, quince, dried apricot, beeswax and toasted almond, with notes of fennel, chamomile, salted caramel and a subtle vanilla and toasted-oak frame. Full-bodied and textured on the palate, with concentrated stone-fruit intensity, a vivid saline mineral spine, fine phenolic grip and a long, savoury, slightly nutty finish. Drink now to 2030.
