  Wow what a great surprise. Loved this wine - tropical, bright, no idea what I paid but wish I had 12 more.

  Wow was this a surprise! Nice light yellow color with a well balanced icidic nose with a light yellow color and a medium weight body with some complexity and a medium length aftertaste. It stood up well to a lovely Pecorino and to a Sonoma Chardonnay.

  Monthly Tasting Group: Spain (Estelle, St. Paul, MN): Light gold color. Followed a glass over an hour. Green tea, herbal and very floral, cat pee, citrus, lychee on the nose. This is one of those totally in your face wines, both on the nose and palate. The palate is acidic and rather bracing, tea, herbal, cat pee, grapefruit, lychee and some stone. If you like an aggressive NZ Sauv Blanc then you'll like this.

  Not something I would drink again. Had a odd metallic taste to it along with floral and orange rind. No one enjoyed it. Gut impression. 80 points

  Appearance: Bright and clear, the wine is of light lemon-green colour with watery rims and legs.
  Nose: Clean, with medium (+) intensity aromas of stone fruit of white peach, floral notes of jasmine, citrus fruit of lemon zest, tropical fruit of mango, green fruit of grapefruit, mineral notes of stony, maturity notes of honey. The wine is developing.
  Palate: Dry with medium acidity, the wine has medium alcohol, medium (+) body and medium (+) intensity flavors of stone fruit of peach, citrus notes of lemon, dairy notes of cream, mineral notes of stony, floral notes of jasmine. The wine has a medium finish.
  Conclusion: Very good quality Rias Baixas Albarino with an intense nose showing good complexity, with the typical varietal characters clearly exhibited, good floral and peachy nose supplemented with exotic fruit and some development aromas, the wine is well-balanced, with a slightly heavy body and good concentration on the palate with similar flavors, finishing with a reasonable length. It is ready to drink now and not meant for further ageing.
