Opened for 1 hour. Medium to light golden color. A lot going on on nose: Citrus, lemon, smoked aromas, blue cheese, salinity, some vanilla too. Very interesting nose. On palate this one seems to have lost some grip but still has a lot of acidity with a bouquet of watermelon, citrus, salinity. It is thin to medium bodied with a long citrus finish. It was good but seems to have lost the "wow" factor on palate. (90-91).

Tasting session with Raul Perez (Barcelona): 100% albarin, vineyards at 500 mts above sea level, aged for 12 months in oak barrel +2 years in bottle. Lively, clean golden color with green rim. Appealing mature fruity nose citrus (primarly medlar), smoke, vanilla, very intense nose overall. On palate is fruity, sweet, mid bodied, dry and mineral. Medium plus finish. Really good either on its own or with food. 92-93.
