Rieslings and Ribeira Sacras (Magna Kusina, Portland OR): The nose is wide open and salinic with fresh tones of lemon zest, white peaches, green apples, saline, acacia flowers, sea breeze, pithy notes, and some elderflower. This shows off good depth while possessing a bit of tension. The Medium bodied feel is light on its feet and fresh with racy, high acidity that has a bit of sting. This drinks much younger than the 19 right next to it and it's such a contrast! This certainly needs a fair bit of time as the acidity really has a bit too much sting right now.

Pop and pour. Notes from 4 days open. Lovely nose with loads of peach, pineapple, tangerine. On the palate: fantastic fruit density, lovely acidity and texture, more peach and pineapple, soft green fruit and a very long, slightly spicy finish. Gorgeous, but needed tons of air.

Often E-S is convincing from the first sip on, but not his wine. I presume it is still in its silent phase and needs (much) more time. No use rating now.

Nicely fleshy with a hint of sweetness and plenty of fresh acidity. Lots of pleasure.

A lot of acid and a lot of minerality
