  Fabulous wine! Neon green with bright golden tones, this wine is delicious. Pineapple jumps out of the glass followed by it's friendly fruits of ripe pear and apricot. Add a dash of mineral and herbs and you have a fun nose. The mouthfeel is bright without being overly acidic. Pineapple, almonds and powerful surge of lime. Although it is rare that I find an albarino I don't like, I would happily seek thing out again! 4.5/5

  I was told last May that Albarino's shouldn't be drunk in the first 2-3 years. This was from some very prominent producers located in Galicia. I didn't believe them, until now. Probably not stored in the best of conditions, I bought this on closeout and I now wish I had bought more. Almost neon yellow, green in color the wine seems to have more in common with nuclear waste than wine at first. I have to say I was very happy when I stuck my nose in my glass to find a wine that came alive with minerals, light pineapple, mandarin oranges, white flowers, and limes. Wow, great start and the palate only got more fun as we went along. Medium to high acidity with a full mouth feel that coats you with pineapple fruit and lime zest. Nuts, and minerals dance in and out and this full bodied white wine ends with a mouthfeel lingers on light feet gently fading from the mouth and leaving you looking for more. Great wine and I will look for more! 4.5/5
