From memory: Very enjoyable – citrus dominant nose and palate, good concentration and firm structure. Didn’t give this the attention it deserved, but it seemed a lot more primary than my mid 2014 note on the 2010 vintage had me expecting. Should keep for quite a few more years.

80% Godello, 15% Albarino, 5% Dona Blanca. Low intervention, partly very old vines, no stainless steel, biodynamic approach. Medium plus body. Expressive on nose and palate, aromatic, broad, spicy. Grippy dry acidity. Very long, great balance, bittersweet touch. Needs air and be served at one-two degrees more than usual white.

Very nice, robust length, well balanced between cream and acidity. Salty and nutty, chops, lemon, citrus, and a hint of sting. Will hold for some years more.

Vino tomado juto al menú degustación de El Ermitaño.
Fresco, frutoso y seco. Apuntes minerales, buen coupage buscado el equilibrio en el vino. Madera mucho más discreta que en añadas antiguas.
Transparente, con un punto goloso bien entendido gracias a su buen peso de fruta blanca. Fino y vertical en la boca, muy fresco. Equilibrado sobre todas las cosas.
Irá a más, para guardar alguna botella.

Thick, creamy fruity nose. Gooseberries and asparagus. A slight bitterness on the nose? The palate has freshness and intensity, nicely balanced with both lightness and concentration at the same time. Also a slight bitterness on the palate. Good though.

Clear pale lemon in colour with abundant legs. Clean nose of medium intensity showing green stone fruit, green almond, lemon peel and a hint of vanilla. It is dry with medium + acidity, medium + alcohol, medium body and medium flavour intensity. Flavours of green apple, lemon peel, green almond, green pairs and a touch of vanilla with a medium + finish. It is a good balanced wine to drink now or in my opinion to cellar for another couple of years.
