Frucht pur schon in der Nase. Dazu am Gaumen schön schmelzig, nicht zu sauer. Ziemlich perfekt. Die Hefe kommt leider nicht so stark durch, könnte gern noch etwas weicher sein. Wird besser mit etwas Temperatur - war wohl am Anfang zu kalt.

One of those didn’t know I still had a bottle moments but still drinking well although the initial citrus notes disappeared fairly quickly. Enjoyable but the fruitiness seems long gone.

Pale yellow colour, smells of gooseberry and quince, medium body, has a little bit of residual sugar, so not completely dry, in the mouth quince and only a little bit of gooseberry, the 13,5 % alcohol are well integrated, doesn’t have any acidity, in the aftertaste quince and a little bit of gooseberry, good length (15 sec), good Albarino, still quite youthful.

PnP. Starts quite shy and needs some air. Typical Albariño nose with a herbal touch, crisp, clean and dry, nice bitter note, long finish. Matched perfectly with the smoked salmon, drink now or within the next 4 years.

Light yellow color Medium aromas of peach/ pear/ orange blossom with no oak noted Medium plus palate of ripe citrus/ stonefruit and slight saline character Medium plus acid and medium alcohol with moderate phenolic bitterness noted - Medium finish Dry glass aromas of lemon and saline Drink now or in 1-2 yrs I really find this this to be a textbook/ classic example of a well made Rias Baixas Albarino - perfect for a double blind tasting

One of the best examples of Albarino from the region. Drank as part of a Masterclass on Rias Baixas, initially as a tasting, and consumed the remainder with dinner the same evening. Just what you would expect from this style of wine, minerality, salinity, peaches, crisp acidity and a roundness on the palate. Highly recommended.

Albarino of the night. This is everything to look for and perfectly describes the region. The nose shows notes of notes of peaches, nectarines, lemon zest and oyster shells. The palate is wonderfully textured with refreshing acidity, saline notes along with a mid-palate of concentrated stone fruit, crushed rocks, sea salt and a medium lingering mouth watering finish

Still drinking well, this time with sea trout. Celebrating the booking of two holidays to Spain, although we are still to head to Galicia.

A little bit more grain smell to the nose. And a round full bodied palate to it.

Seems to have lost a bit of its fruit, perhaps ageing more quickly than other vintages. Still okay but not for keeping much longer?

The slightest whiff of cork taint but still well drinkable.

Very consistent with previous vintages perhaps just a little fuller on the palate. Always a great wine with brill

Fidèle compagnon, constant, toujours aussi bon.
Similaire aux autres millésimes.
Vif et ample, toujours aussi tonifiant.
On adore.
