  July 4, 2013 - One of the best Albarinos on the market and best with a fine fish dinner!

  July 4, 2013 - Rediscovering Do Ferreiro with its owner Gerardo Mendez (Enoteca Barolo - Madrid): Now we're talking! A complex mineral nose followed by a creamy, dense palate that isn't rounded already. Too much acid anyway.
  
  ¡Empezamos a hablar! Una compleja nariz mineral seguida de una boca cremosa, densa que no está todavía redonda. De todas formas mucha acidez, demasiada.

  October 12, 2012 - Last bottle of half case. This was PnP, with the usual pale yellow color with green flashes. On nose showed a quite pungent bouquet of citrus, lime and some minerality. On palate seems to be more silky than previous bottles as the acidic intensity seems to settle down. It is actually more grassy and unctuous, bringing more fat than before. The acidity with the herbal notes, green grass flavour and slighty bitter medium-length finish made it a perfectly complement to a turbot.

  July 21, 2012 - Another bottle gone. This one was a bit more restrained on nose. More herbal aromas than citrus. On palate stands out the tremendous acitidy along with the citrus flavours. Drinks very nice.

  July 12, 2012 - Dinner at Eleven Madison Park (Eleven Madison Park, New York): This was an excellent Albariño, one of the best I can remember having for some time, and quite a steal at its price-tag too. It had a really interesting nose of grass and gooseberry, green apples, salty, seashelly minerality and a little whiff of smoke - almost like a hybrid between a Sancerre, a Muscadet and a Riesling with that bouquet. The palate was every bit as interesting - very minerally, with lots of seashell and limestone notes lining the attack and midpalate, where white fruited flavours of pear and melon, along with the slightly brighter gooseberry tones picked up on the nose tailed away into a very stony finish. This was a serious white wine, with lots of creamy texture depth married to some lovely integrated acidity. I remembered thinking that there was quite a bit of fat here for an Albariño, yet it somehow still retained that focus and freshness of the varietal. Lovely mouth-filling finish too, where the white fruit was seasoned with a nice twist of spice. A very solid wine, lovely now, but should develop quite well over the next few years too.
