13.5% alcohol, imported by European Cellars LLC, Charlotte NC; the label shows no acute accent over the 'a' in Señorans; real cork, light to medium foil, medium legs, light amber color; nose of leather, earth, cinnamon, nutmeg, alcohol; tasted at room temperature (23 degrees C), notes of citrus, oranges, spices; I may have cellared the wine too long, and I suspect that it would have achieved a higher rating if I had opened it sooner; Albariño isn't my favorite grape although in this wine it grows on you; pair with turbot or other shallow water fish

Popped and poured, consumed over 4 hours. Nose: Medium expressiveness, citrus - meyer lemon and green apple, hay field, and undertones of black licorice. Palate: Medium bodied, green apple and pear attack, solid acidic back-bone, creamy mouth-feel, butter and licorice appear mid-palate, flavors fade a little thru the back-end. Finish: Short-to-medium length dominated by lemon butter and green apple.

Uncorked, sampled, returned to cold storage, drank 24 hours later. Very nice nose with notes of seashells and honey. On entry gives a strong cut of minerals and bitter almond, intense but a bit straightforward, verging on overwhelming. Smooth transition on the back end, more minerals and almond. Alcohol prominence leads me to believe this doesn't have much life left. Overall though, above average length. Not one-dimensional, but lacking a bit of intrigue. Good. 88 points.

Clear, pale lemon in color, medium intensity with developed aromas of lemon/lime zest, sea salt, meadow flower and wet stone. Dry, with medium (+) levels of acidity and alcohol; presenting intense, softly textured, citrus fruit on sharply cut crisp mineral base. Modestly long saline finish reminiscent of seawater. Nice summer time sipper. Next time w/shellfish.
