Lovely wine. Refreshing when cold, this is young and it was tight initially with citrus peel and quinine, eventually evolving into banana, guava and chestnut honey. Fairly high alcohol with excellent acidity. Seems like a wine you could keep for a long time, but is superb now.

Een van de meest besproken wijnen van Spanje, van de broer van Álvaro Palacios. Van 100 % Godello uit een wijngaard op 700-800 m hoogte, gelegen op het zuidoosten en zuidwesten, met 20 tot 40 (soms 80) jaar oude stokken. Terrassen met een zanderige bodem Parker: De As Sortes 2018 is afkomstig van de zes oudste kleine percelen van Palacios-wijngaarden, gekocht tussen 2004 en 2007, en de wijnstokken worden biologisch bewerkt. De wijnstokken zijn eind jaren zeventig / begin jaren tachtig geplant.

This did not disappoint. I first tasted this wine (an earlier vintage) on a trip to the Basque region a few years back and was bowled over. It is very much in the style of white Burgundy, but is also definitely its own wine…will age for a long time. Drinking super young now (lots of baby fat to shed), but still super delicious.

Med lemon. Pronounced. Blossom, peach, hay. Dense and powerful with a mineral strike. High acidity, med body and alcohol. Complex and long.

Comida en Enekorri Pamplona. Algo decepcionado. Lo encontré algo oxidado, cansado. Fruta madura, licoroso. No la mejor añada? Botella tonta?
