May 2, 2013 - Lovely wine. Fine body, mineral, lots of citrus and touches of tropical fruit. Very clean, good length. Ageing well, no panic to drink.

April 12, 2013 - Medium rich golden color with a trace of green.
Lovely nose, aromatic and fruity, with floral, citrus and tropics - weirdest thing is that one almost gets a trace of Gruner or Gewürztraminer here.
Palate is rich, medium weight, but full, reaches all the buttons in the mouth, with a "dense" mineral acidity that really makes it enjoyable, and a discernible ripeness that almost tastes sweet. This is my first Godello, and won't be my last.
Finish is good, with pineapplely acid under the tongue lifting it along to a medium plus finish. -
