  Light gold color
  Medium aromas of lemon and hint of minerality - slightly oxidized character
  Medium plus palate of green apple and citrus with characteristic phenolic bitterness. Nice length and medium plus acidity.
  Nice enough Albarino but Im a little thrown off by the slight oxidative notes

  Single blind tasting
  Straw color
  Medium + aromatics of stone fruit, almonds and banana
  Medium + palate with medium + acid and a slight oxidative character
  Palate dominated by salt, tart peach and some lemon. Finishes with almond phenolic bitterness.
  Round mouthfeel and medium finish
  Hoped for a little more on the palate, but still a nice example of Albarino.

  An excellent Albariño for the price. Bold fruit and good body. Lemon, melon, slate, and stone fruit. Excellent acidity. Holds up well with food but can stand alone as aperitif.

  Honey and ripe fruit on the nose. Pear? Follows thru to the mouth. Slightly sweet, mouthwatering acidity. Long finish, though no cloying or heavy. Green apple Jolly Rancher in finish. Mouth still watering. Refreshing.

  No notes taken. From memory this was on the riper side for an Albarino and quite enjoyable. More tropical in aromas but still maintained that characteristic phenolic bitterness.
