TSA 'Albero' Manzanilla En Rama Sherry 500ml 2020

A very fine nose of fir apple, crab apple, lemon balm, lemon drop, neroli, and chalk dust. It’s floral from flor and noticeably ‘salino’ (salty). The chalk is mineral fresh, with a bit of peachy richness tucked inside, marrying perfectly with the ozone surf reach on the nose. It’s exactly mid-weight in the Manzanilla spectrum. Finishes soft but with some tang, like biting into an apple, the juicy openness runs through and is framed by salt, cabezuelas (spent flor bitters), acidity and an iodine point. There’s a hint of brown spice in the flinty crunch finish, which lingers beautifully.
