  Took about a half hour open to begin "Colares-ing"--saline, acid, honeyed, all at once. A wine that will impress just about anyone...well, just about? Really disappointed with the taster below needlessly dragging the score down with a 76 and kind words for this fantastic wine.

  DOC established in 1908. 500ml bottle. only 3000 bottles of the white. has a very extracted feel to the nose. Indian lemon pickle, without the Indian spices. melon and lemon peel. on the palate, there is some deilcate floral and extract tug. wild textural elements.

  Polished and soulful, this Colares shows typicality in its slight salinity amidst pine and tilia aromatics. On the mouth its buttery and textured with a pleasant dry finish.
