  • Toujours avec les ingrédients au goût de froid, autour de la pomme, profitez des derniers beaux jours de la saison pour vous confectionner un saisissant velouté froid, très légèrement crémé, de concombre, de pomme et de zestes de lime, puis servez à vos invités un tout aussi invitant et zesté blanc sec à base d'albariño, comme le minéralisant, compact, complexe et excellent Pazo de Senorans 2005 Rias-Baixas

  • The nose has distinct notes of melon and citrus fruit. The palate is more on the tart green apple that transitions to blue stone and even a touch of petrol. The finish is brought about by an intense acidity. This hasn't lost anything even if it is a bit older. It might last for another couple of years.

  • Medium-gold appearance, showing some age. Developing nose of medium minus intensity, with citrus, green fruit, floral, and a pronounced creamy/lees component. Some lactic and faint petrol notes suggesting age. Medium acidity on the palate with a touch of sweetness and flavors of yellow fruits, green apple, and creamy autolysis/lees. Good concentration and length. Age seems to have buffed away many of the edges here; the wine now shows a mature rich, lactic style. Very worthwhile, but I think I prefer albariño with the sharpness of youth. I'll definitely drink up my remaining bottles within the year.

  • Spanish Dinner (Denver, CO): Another good showing. Way more white fruit than the txakolina, but this was not as refreshingly acidic.

    (Pazo de Señoráns Albariño Rías Baixas) Group's #6 (my #9) – 51 pts.; 2, 0, 0, 1 – light medium golden yellow; funky, strong herbal nose with a white cheese component; sweet entry, then the funky cheese and herbal characteristic moves in, a little cloying and lacking in acid, like a Loire Chenin Blanc from a very ripe year; short-medium cliff finish ($24)

    (PAZO SENORANS ALBARINO) #3; COLOR-medium golden; NOSE-little musty, stone & apple make little stone-apple babies, little fresh cream; TASTE-nice mouthfeel, razor sharp, crazy crisp & clean, tremendous complexity, beautiful honeydew, hints of banana, a good wine, but a little one-dimensional; JM-92; GV-88

    (Pazo de Señoráns Albariño Rías Baixas) Almost clear with yellow tinge; nice minerally and oily nose; tasty tight but solid lemon and faintly herbal palate, with smoke, oily texture and good grip; medium finish (none of the bitterness of the '04)
