Community Tasting Note

Thursday, March 2, 2023 - Made from grapes with minimum of 30 years of age (some suggestions show 40years)

Clear yellow with faint golden shade. Drank over two days with significant improvement on the second day which suggest an optimal drinking window in 3-5 years.

On the initial day citrusy and lemony notes dominate the nose and palate with a strong acidic back bone and a very faint spritz. Stone fruit pits and grapey notes add some complexity on the second day. There is a good amount of minerality present albeit it never reaches a dominant position. High quality Alvarinho.

Thanks to Francisco from Garrafeira de Santos (Lisbon) for the recommendation
