  October 19, 2020 - 2.5 years plus after the prior: The notes immediately below capture it well. And yes, the pleasant suggestions of quince remain. Distinctive and enjoyable over three nights.

  March 10, 2019 - Very enjoyable. I don't remember any vinho verde or albariño being this impressive. The wine is fresh and bright but not overly light or tart. I enjoyed drinking the wine on its own and with foods. It offers ripe pear, lemon, and lime flavors with pronounced herbal overtones. The aroma profile contained something exotic--a touch of lychee perhaps? Actually, the note of "quince" below is spot-on, but I shouldn't steal it.

  September 14, 2018 - Much better integrated than previous bottles. The white peach and stone fruits through the mid-palate have softened a bit of the sharper acidic elements, making for a more harmonious whole. The acid and mineral notes are still there, but no longer as disjointed as they felt before.

  July 8, 2018 - Medium straw. Ripe white stone fruit, citrus, mineral notes and hints of lanolin. Medium bodied with refreshing acidity and medium length. Nice texture, granular and good value too.

  March 4, 2018 - Kevin H’s note below is apt for us — especially the quince reference. Interesting/intriguing fruit and lovely acidity. Quite enjoyable over four nights, and we will get a couple more to see how it develops.
