Points

The new bottling of NV Fino Pando has a golden color, which reflects a wine with less filtration. The problem is that these bottles are impossible to identify, as there is no mention on the labels about bottling date or saca, but it's bottled with an average age of five years under flor. It's expressive and elegant with aromas of esparto grass, olives, sea breeze and chalk. The palate is medium-bodied with pungent flavors and with a strong, chalky mineral finish with a strong bitter twist. -L.G.
