very nice nose. palette loses its charm over about an hour and a half. quite nice for that duration though, with hints of peach and melon. good acid as well. a quality albarino overall, i'd say this well-stored bottle was about at peak at 10 years.

Exceptional white, with a good and fresh acidity and a very good volume. Unbelieveble alive and kickin', this 4 year with will last at least 2 years. Recommend it!

This wine is still hanging in there. This was popped during a dinner party but didn't get a lot of attention as the Champagne was flowing freely. The bottle spent a couple of nights in the fridge and now it is awesome. Aromatically complex, somehow rich and fat yet crisp and lightweight at the same time. Really a striking bottle, and unfortunately my last of the 04s. I will try to hold off on the 05s for awhile in the hopes they will develop like this.

Wow. So different from my last bottle. Much rounder and more together. Floral and nutty on the nose. Palate is much more open with nuttiness and yellow fruit. An albarino that I think benefits with a little bit of time.

(Pazo de Señoráns Albariño Rías Baixas) Fresh stone fruit and grapefruit rind nose; tart unripe peach and grapefruit rind on palate, and minerals; a bitter note on the medium finish

This was a nicely balanced white -- some acidity and some fruit.
