Foodwine! Distinct smell and taste of citus like grapefruit. Some bitter mouthfeel. Matching pasta with ham and majo and cream dressing with no problem. Full boddied, long refreshing aftertaste. Still capabel to stay in cellar fore some years more. Good wine.

Note: I use a rating scale for which 85 represents a very good wine.
Very nice bottle. As I noted one month ago, this had a bit of richness to it, which I like in an Albarino. Mellowed out very nicely toward bottle's end. Would buy again for certain.

GMs North Side: Pineapple, musk, lemon and slate. Nicely pure crystalline fruit, has good lightness about it, although there is also a phenolic touch. Nice length and good interest.

By itself and along with chicken enchiladas, this wine was doing great tonight. Broad, fruity palate with a suitable slate of minerals and lifted acidity. Clean progression through a fairly long finish (for Albariño). I'd say this is drinking at peak and should be enjoyed this year.

A big match for solefish with sauce of mango and kiwi with sharp spices. And crispy bacon. The wine match the acidty from the sauce, the fat from bacon, and the tartness of the dampt fish. A very well balanced wine with clear mineral toutch, and long finnish. And it has at least got strength to stay in cellar fore at least 2 years more. A deligth experience.

Crystal clear, good viscosity, lovely citrus nose with some complexity & certainly attractive, dry on the palate but with beautiful balance & moreish character. A really good wine with poise.

Clear, very light straw color, average legs. Voluptuous (for the grape) aromas of honeydew, citrus, and wet concrete. Tart and juicy palate with excellent length to the flavor. Bold acidity cuts up a lot of the minerality and adds tang to the long finish. Drink this where you would a Sauvignon Blanc, but when you want something different. 4+11+16+8 = 89

Lovely light greenish yellow. Smells a bit like grapefruit. This has nice viscosity to it. Fresh acidity. Tastes of citrusy fruit. Went well with grilled sockeye salmon.

Pale gold color. Faint fruitiness in first whiff. Delicate, slightly sweet flavor with a bit of sauvignon blanc style flavor-wise. Very delicious, balanced overall. Nice compliment to crab-stuffed flounder, chimichurra rice, haricots verts. Also good with hake with grilled zucchini and pesto, and fried potatoes with haricots verts and wild mushrooms.

This bottle disappeared so quick I didn't take notes, though the review from 10/17/12 is still spot on. An excellent Rias Biaxas example and a real value in terms of fine white wine. I will enjoy my remaining 5 bottles very much.

A solid Albarino at a greatprice from Garagiste. Pale yellow color. A nose with notes of the ocean, petroleum jelly, citrus peel. Great texture in the mouth, as well as the acidity one expects from an Albarino. Lovely in the mouth with notes of lime, saline, minerality, and a nice finish.
Glad I bought two bottles, wish I had bought a case.

Not a particular favorite if mine, it does not really have anything distinctive to speak of

much better than the last bottle, fresher, with more acidity, less "sulphuric". Enjoyed with Chicken Marsala.

Solid Albarino. Not as good as the Pazo Senorans, but it is about $7 per bottle less expensive.
