  Was afraid it was past it’s time. But drank quite well! Perfect poolside. Nice and refreshing. Good acid and balance.

  Still fresh. The color is medium straw. The fruit is still strong. The acidity is .moderate but appropriate for the style of wine. It is delightful drunk chilled this summer.

  Light gold color. Drank 2 glasses over 2 hours. Some bottle age has improved this even more. More depth and nuance now, though it was quite good before. I found this a refreshing change of pace. Very bright now on the nose with plenty of diverse citrus aromas, some tropical fruits as well, light florals. The palate is very crisp, good minerality present, grapefruit, lemon-lime, medium plus body, nice acid. And, as expected, it was just the ticket out on the deck for the first 80 degree day of the year. This can easily go another year, maybe more, though I don't know why you would. Need to get more Albarino. 89+ to 90pts.

  I simply do not drink enough Albariño. Even now, in the heart of winter, with the thermometer well below freezing outside, this is a delightful quaff. Acidity a go-go with grapefruit leading the way. Very Good. thedrunkencyclist.com

  Minneapolis Wine Club - Spain (Rocknroller's (Kevin & Vicki's Place)): Very consistent with the first bottle. Shows some florals long with a nice mix of citrus fruits and pear. The palate is tart and crisp with good minerality, lemon,lime, pear, citrus zest. This will be great on a hot day out on the deck.
