Still fairly Young looking. First impression is the high quality wood, with all the buttery, almond impressiona attached. The lemony side of the Arinto is tamed by the wood. You can taste a very well made wine with the Arinto embracing the wood very well. Shy on adjectives, round with a great balance between some fruit, quality wood and the welcomed freshness. Nice acidity without loosing the roundness. Long at the end. Still fresh and young

Bright gold with some slight darkening. Ripe nose with tropical fruit, lemon pie, touch of petrol and a touch of sundried hay. A bit ripe and exotic and definitely showing some evolution. The palate is fleshy, a mouthfull of tropical fruit, a mineral suggestion with very long finale with the necessary minimum acidity. Not your razor sharp, acidity plentyful type of riesling but mouthwatering and able to keep the wanted freshness. I feel it already evolved and would not keep any remaining bottles for much longer. A pleasure wine if never reaching the high grounds of excellence.

Very Young clear gold. It's the nose that starts to show the evolution....orange peel, lemon pie, slight petrol and sweet Almonds. Perfect stage of evolution. Fat and full of details. One can still taste the wood, sundried bushes, petrol, slight oxidation. Super long in the end with the confirmation of the age gained fatness. Very very good.
