Pear nectar, Meyer lemon and smoky minerals on the nose, along with hints of jasmine, fennel and vanilla that build slowly in the background. Supple, focused and nicely concentrated, offering ripe citrus and orchard fruit flavors that are complemented by sweet butter and toasty lees accents. The floral note repeats on a long, smooth finish that's energized by a jolt of zesty acidity. - Josh Raynolds\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Antonio Galloni's Vinous (February 2019), 91 pts\u003c\/span\u003e    \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Valsacro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948967587887,"sku":"S1EE250019WBS","price":27.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/vinsacro_blanco_hq_label.jpg?v=1771486265","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/vinsacro-rioja-blanco-2016","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
