  The wine was golden in color, bordering on slightly orange, suggesting significant age. Nose of apples and almonds. Showed apple and peach notes on the palate, with toasted nuts and some salinity with a very slight sherried note at the end consistent with the color. This (at least this bottle) seemed to be nearing the end of its drinking life. Very nice complexity, and a heavier style of white wine. Incidentally, I suspect there was some sort of error in labeling these bottles as the rear label claims the wine is red and made of 100% Mencia. That is clearly incorrect. In my experience, these wines are primarily Godello.

  A friend opened this for his 7/4/18 party. It had a deep, rich and complex bouquet of apple, pear, butter, citrus and nut aromas. The palate was rich, complex and very appealing with flavors of apple, pear, butter, lemon, tangerine, nuts, and minerals…slight oiliness in the mid-palate.

  Por fin pude disfrutar de una botella entera de este vino.
  
  Siguen las mismas sensaciones de cuidada oxidación y frescura por doquier. Boca afilada y muy sabrosa, vertical. La nariz despliega toda la complejidad, muy floral, cera, salino, frescura sin rastro de maderas. Complejo y muy bebible.

  Melocotón, oxidación bien entendida, intenso, flores secas. Una nariz muy Loira.
  
  La boca es un tiro, muy vertical y sabrosa, con finura y complejidad. Muy placentero.

  Last bottle. Drink now. Slightly oxidized, but great lemony and bees wax flavours.
