Bodegas y Vinedos Balbaina - Vina Corrales Fino Sherry (bottled 2023)

JAMES SUCKLING: "A fino that shows so much dried fruit like apricots, as well as lightly toasted almonds, stones and some chalk. It’s medium- to full-bodied with crushed stones, fruit and light seaweed. Complex and thoughtful. April 2023 bottling. Drink now."

DECANTER: "The effect of Peter Sisseck's announcement in 2017 that Sherry was the finest white wine in Spain, and that he was investing in a bodega and a vineyard, was electric. Here was a maker of top fine wines cheering for Jerez. His wisely chosen adviser? The wonder-worker from Sanlúcar, Ramiro Ibáñez. And the wine? About eight years old, bottled like a white Burgundy, saline, yeasty from flor, savoury, with dried herbs and a brisk dry finish."
