This seemed a bit oxidized. The colour was significantly darker than the 2008 and it was discordant and bitter. I remember enjoying the previous bottle I had which I didn't take notes on.

Really drinking nicely now with flavors of white peach, orange zest and a touch of almond; nice acidic structure and very rich mouthfeel, balanced and finishes well.

A crisp, uplifting, very pleasant wine. Good balance of acidity & fruit (apple, apricot). I'm liking Albarino a lot, and this is a solid, not particularly special example.

Past it's prime. Acids are still present, but almost all the fruit and any minerality that may have been present are gone.
