10/6/2015 - John Nezlek wrote: 89 pointsI will peg this one just below the magical 90. Five years down the line (compared to the other TNs), this seems to be a different (but still very enjoyable ) wine. The acidity is gone, but it has been replaced by a rich, smooth wine. A bit more my style than it might have been earlier. Not flabby -- there is still enough sharpness to balance it all out, but a bit more mature. |

3/2/2015 - jnewman77 wrote: NRAn interesting wine that is good, but not great. The nose is filled with barnyard funk, red currant, raspberry, and earth. The palate is fresh and energetic, but finishes a touch sharp with acidity which is moderated a bit with food. Overall I think it is good, interesting, and a reasonable value. This wine certainly makes me want to explore mencia a bit more. |

3/12/2014 - sjr wrote: NRQuite clear, pale yellow; lemon, minerality, herbal on nose; medium-plus body, medium acidity, a chalkiness in the texture; light minerality, a bit of cinnamon, some grasses. Generally fairly reticent overall. Would have liked a bit more acidity to go with the weight in the mouth. |

8/9/2013 - Richard123 Likes this wine: 90 pointsExcellent from the beginning. Nice crisp stone fruits with good acidity and well-rounded minerality. A perfect level of honey makes it richer and sweeter than pinot grigio, but in a good way! Easy to drink by itself or with food. |

5/6/2013 - jdrago Likes this wine: 89 pointsUpon opening flavor of green apple with a touch of caramel or burnt sugar. When it warms up a bit you get a taste of ripe pear; faint green notes (grassiness). Very good wine; good by itself without food. |

11/30/2011 - Bob Fyke wrote: 88 pointsPopped and poured. First sniff showed some funk, vanilla, and mint along with blackberry fruit. With a little time, the fruit took on a minerally incense quality. Light to medium weight with creamy blackberry / cherry, plenty of smokey minerals, incense and a little vanilla bean.Some acidity and aromatics on the mid-palate. A quick savory finish with grilled meat and minerals. Dispite the number of distinct qualities in this wine, it still seems primary and disjointed at this time. |

7/10/2010 - dynowine wrote: 90 pointsStrong sour fruit balanced well against mineral and acid. Interesting and unusual varietal, Godello. Nose of hints of green nectarine, grass, mineral, sort of like a sauv blanc. Attacks firmly with acid and ripe sour fruit (nectarine, citrus) with a hint of gasoline/volatiles. Finishes of mineral and earth competing with green fruit. Body medium, acid medium plus, dry to off-dry. Tasty. |

7/7/2010 - jayw wrote: 91 pointsA limeade Margarita of a wine with salt and lemon; and from somewhere else a floral essence reminiscent of manzanilla Sherry. Medium body and lush texture, with a solid backbone and surprisingly complex flavor profile for such a lively and refreshing white wine. Wish I had more of these. |
