| 2020 Benito Santos Godello (Spain, Galicia, Monterrei) | 7/23/2023 | Harley1199 | |
By the glass. Another Monterrei godello without excessive personality. On the nose it is quite basic with floral notes and especially tropical fruit aromas. On the palate it offers a glyceric texture with a flat, bland acidity. Decent length and a finish without transmission of terroir. Slightly alcoholic aftertaste (13.0 ABV). Looks like a trace of Pazos del Rey’s wine.
Por copas. Otro godello de Monterrei sin excesiva personalidad. En nariz es bastante básico con notas florales y sobretodo aromas de frutas tropicales. Al paladar ofrece una textura glicérica con una acidez plana, insulsa. Longitud decente y final sin transmisión de terruño. Retrogusto ligeramente alcohólico (13.0%). Parece un calco del vino de Pazos del Rey. (319 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $ |

Consistent with my January note, but I liked this a bit more tonight with a peekytoe crab salad , a light and delicate app that brought out the best in this lovely albariño. (389 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $ |

Ruby hue, berryish, fruit-forward wine. Acids prominent enough to suggest further cellaring--but why wait? Drink on the way up, rather than the way down. Pork, red or white pasta dishes. (249 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $ |

PnP. Not every wine hits everyone the same way. For instance, maybe some enjoyed this on day 1, but for me it was Spanish white, well-balanced, good flavor, but that was it. Half the bottle on day 2, and I was in love with this wine - the way it paired with food was exciting whereas the day before it was more or less just helping to clear my palate for the next bite of food. Based on day 2, I'd definitely rebuy. 13,0% abv, natural cork, ~ $16. Bravo! recommended+ (1849 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $ |

Melon and lemon sorbet on the nose. Green apple skin acidity, well made, balanced, very refreshing cold pear and yellow apple flavors, great with simple shellfish, except lobster which is too rich for the albariño’s light and lively texture . Should drink very well for 3 years or so. Missing minerality and salinity. (428 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $ |
