  Such a joyful wine. Once again and much like the 2006 (Papies 92) a very nice experience. Love the rich side of the humble albarino, good acidity, a touch of oak still but complements the wine rather well. Seems to still be very much alive and evolving nicely and have easily another few years. Great discovery. 91

  Pale gold in colour. Tropical fruit on aroma.
  Mango, mango, mango, with some barely ripened pineapple.
  Light smokey caramel with excellent acidity & minerality.
  Good structure.
  Lip smackingly good. Persistent finish

  Unusual Whites, A fine wine tutored tasting with Catherine Owen (Berry Bros & Rudd, London): Very interesting to see after the normal albarino which needs to be enjoyed very young. This expression of the albarino is the exact opposite and comes from 45yr old vines, ages 30m in old wood and then a further 12m in bottle. Good colour here, gold and gives you the feel of a vendage tardive wine. Nutty feel to the nose. Not much in residual sugar either and the acidity keeps that in check. Lots of ripe, rich fruit, creamy texture and on the concentrated side. Proper quality wine here. 91-92

  Clear, pale gold, hundreds of skinny tears
  Clean, med + bordering on full intensity, aromas of sharp apples, juicy pears, honey, green gages, treacle, very muscular.
  Dry, med - body, med - alcohol, no tannins, med - acidity, nice complexity, further flavours of cognac, cashews, lemon, and grapefruits. Very strongly flavoured and great with mild or strong flavoured foods.

  Wine dinner with work colleagues (Hawksmoor, Guildhall, London): Fresh, bright, gooseberry fruit, full in the middle, lovely balance, lovely wine
