May 26, 2012 - This wine has aged surprisingly well. Almost 2 years sine last bottle. Citrus has mellowed into an smooth honeysuckle melon with the crispness still intact. Finish has some nice length to it. Great sipper alone or with food. Perfect for a rare early summer 77 degree day in Seattle! Would love more but this is our last bottle.

June 26, 2011 - This bottle seemed to have much more citrusy acidity. Still quite a bit perfume-like on the palate, though, which is a turn-off for me. Comes across as more of a palate cleanser than a wine to pair with food.

June 7, 2011 - Disappointed by this. Perfume and citrus nose. Overly floral with melon and stone fruit flavors. Low acid and heavy on the palate. Lacks crispness.

5/17/2010 (link)(TAPADA Guitian Godello) Godello Dear Friends, How often do you reach for something crisp and refreshing in the peak summer months only to walk away disappointed? I do. Too much extract and tropical fruit can spoil a 96 degree Sunday afternoon in a hurry. In warm (hot) weather, I reach for white wine with a piquant, cleansing and low alcohol framework that has more bite than bark - I reach for something like La Tapada's Guitian Godello. Planted at nearly 1500 ft above sea level off the Atlantic coast in Gallicia (due north of Rias Baixas), this is the Spanish equivalent of the environs of Muscadet (with 1000-2000 ft of elevation) and the wind-swept ocean influence is palpable. For some reason, this area of Spain is oft-forgotten when Numanthia or the baked/warm climate image of Spain captures the foreigner's attention, but there is another Spain - one that closely mirrors the cold, sea-drenched persona of Brittany in France (with a continental twist that is wholly Spanish). In a similar way that Ireland bears the brunt of the North Atlantic, the far western reaches of Gallicia reap the same influence and you can taste it in the wines: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED as a delicious and pinpoint wine to have on tap when the temperature rises this summer...and beyond (Thanksgiving anyone?) ONE SHIPMENT ONLY at this price: 2008 Bodegas la Tapada Guitian Godello (Gallicia) Thank you, Jon Rimmerman Garagiste Seattle, WA Spain3688
