Fleshy and rich, with a clear reflection of barrel fermentation on the nose, palate and finish. This is plump Verdejo with match stick and toasty vanilla on the bouquet. It’s full, round and toasted in the mouth, with spiced apple and vanilla flavors. Oaky and mature; drink this Spanish ode to Burgundy now. ——M.S.(4/1/2011)—— 89
