El Vinculo Alejairen Crianza Castilla La Mancha, 2020 Spain Requiem Colombard from Ricetti Vineyard formsA very characterful white in an oxidative, old school style, with some spiced aromas and flavors. Turmeric, saffron, roasted pineapple and lemon with a nutty edge. Creamy and flavorful, but still fresh and phenolic. Long, with some popcorn in the finish. Drink now. 91 Pts James Suckling
