This just keeps improving. Such detailed and well articulated flavors! Super pungent and long. I should have stocked up when I could have.

This is my first "en Rama" Manzanilla. I was dubious if the lack of heavy filtration would make much difference, but it certainly does. This is way more intense, complex, and satisfying than regular Manzanilla. It has a depth of mouth feel that deliciously contrasts with the tangy salinity and acidity of the wine. Bravo!

The nose is so complex at this point, but the wine is so well balanced that it requires attention to realize the details because it is rounded, like a good white Burgundy. Saline and very chalky, with some nutty and brown butter like elements beginning to show, and always that flirtatious chamomile scent. The palate is completely harmonious, pungent but gentle, and showing serious and great length. Fantastic wine.

In a great place. So expressive aromatically - chamomile, smoke, lemon oil, starting to be a bit nutty. Balanced, graceful, powerful on the palate. And the finish is distinctly chalky. Great wine.

Smells terrific - chamomile/pear/citrus peel/light sea air, aromatic and fresh, with underlying savory/spicy/almondy/woody/lightly caramelly depth. Similar combination of freshness and savoriness on the palate, with pronounced almond and chamomile flavors that linger for quite a while. Bracingly dry; slightly bitter; good acidity. Silky, slippery texture. Refreshing/moreish. This has handled some short term aging quite gracefully; thoroughly enjoyable.

This time the saca de invierno 2013 - really good again, with strong citrus notes, fresh but intense and a long finish - really good little bottles

In a beautiful place. Chamomile flowers, orange peel, salt, chalk, and raw flor all mingle seamlessly on the nose, which is vibrant and fresh and full of energy. Balanced and complex on the palate with surprising length. The wine is simply lovely.

Smells deep and complex, while also having a sense of focus and transparency; sea air, almond, chamomile, pear, citrus peel, smoke. Nice almond, pear, and orange peel flavors on the palate, and after a few seconds strong chamomile develops and propels a very long and extremely fresh finish. Good acidity and some gentle underlying salinity. Good stuff.

From a "Vertical" of different sacas. Not unexpectedly, the freshier and most delicate in the panel. Beeswax, menthol, flower and fresh dough. Salty, slightly piquant. More traditional of "en Rama", surely due to its relative freshness. Will keep my bottle for a while, let's see how it develops.

Floral and salty. A bit weird. Some flavours could be mistaken for cork taint.

Salty, butty, but maybe not in top condition. Might be due to recent shipment.

Light gold color. Intense nose of green apple and seashore tanginess. Full bodied and almost explosive on the palate, with a long, tart, grippy finish. It turns to sweetness as it lingers.
