Cenatiempo Forastera

Deep golden color. Nose - orange tea, fragrant olive / osmanthus flower, apricot and honey - intense but well integrated and giving almost mild impression. In the mouth, attack is fresh/concentrated tangerine/orange, middle is jackfruit, finishes with mild chalkiness/maltiness. Acidity is high but draws convex curve with long tail, gently disappears into salinity and clean oiliness, something almost chasselas-like (interesting transition to calmness considering the rich beginning). The delicate texture at the finish tells real class and hard work, but …

Revelatory. Great freshness, cut and persistence here. Will keep my eye out for more Ischia wines.

PNP. Cork amalgam intact. Color is dark straw. Nose has Flint but also white peach. Swishing shows saline and a chalky acidity that is not bitter in any way but creamy almost. Sipping shows fruit with enough weight to balance the structure. Easy on a warm patio. Usually I agree with Andrew but perhaps deserves a revisit? Thanks for sharing Robin

Strong gunflint and dead yeast element I don't like. Maybe is just reduced heavily and will revisit.
