  Su mejor momento pasó aunque ha tenido una bonita evolución.
  
  Timido, sacando notas clasicas de un albariño con años. Manzana asada, agua salada, algo de galleta?, herbaceo y oleoso.
  
  La boca redonda y fácil aunque algo hueca y con falta de tensión.

  Color: Quite a dark gold.
  
  Nose: Powerful, aromatic nose of peach, apricot, and pineapple, with honey, pollen, toasted nuts, fresh seawater, and some chalkiness. Great nose.
  
  Mouthfeel: Full-bodied, rich, and rounded.
  
  Palate: Honey, pineapple, and ripe peach, with good acidity to balance the sweet fruit, and a nice hint of the minerality and brine from the nose. Big and bold, with a nice complex finish.
  
  This is really great for the price and a very good, balanced full-bodied white by any measure. One of the very few times I find myself above the critics on scoring. Very nice label design if such things matter to you.

  A lovely fresh nose - nice and minerally with green and tropical fruits. There's a lovely maritime feel on the palate. Very crisp and fresh. Like a grown up Gros Plant.
