I think we waited too long to open this 2010 Albarino. What I observed were the good legs and a yellow amber color, a moderate nose, not fruit forward -- minerals, graphite & leather, slightly effervescent. I'm no fan of Albarino (I've yet to discover a really superior one). On the 2nd day after an overnight in the fridge, it was a little better, but still a very flat taste. Still drinkable but not very good.

Reminds me of a fine Rhone blend with a bit more richness. Nicely balanced fruit, acid and alcohol (12.5%). There is a fine tongue coating texture that pairs well with the slightly citrusy front end.
Pale yellow; citrus, apple or pear and light vanilla nose; bright, crisp, citrus and apple with nice acidity and mouth feel; a comfortable sipper if a little lacking in complexity; our last bottle of three. Solid purchase
