Pale straw colour. Very pronounced aroma of flor yeast, nut and cashew. Dry palate with salty taste, followed by a strong flor flavour with a nutty background. Excellent length and concentrated flavour, followed by very long persistant aftertaste. Drink now.
Other reviews... Textbook Manzanilla! Papirusa is a clean, mildly salinic offering with green banana and toast aromas. The palate is just salty enough, but the wine’s more about almond, apple and lemon peel than saline. And the feel and finish are nutty and warm. A full-bodied but refreshing style as only Lustau can do.
