Jancis Robinson note accurate. Has some richness from the wine-making but still the fresh acidity of vinho verde. Nose citrus, honey. Palate relatively rich (for vinho verde), good seam of acidity. Reasonable length. Will be interesting to see how it ages.

Probably infanticide. Lots of oak (both fermented and aged in new Allier oak), plenty of citrus notes and acidity from the Bical grape. Probably best left for another couple of years before trying another one - to allow the oak time to integrate more.

Lemon and wax on the nose. Slightly floral. Very fresh palate - lots of acidity. Interesting aftertaste - beeswax? Bottle 2186 of 2990. Made with skin contact in stainless steel vats, finished in concrete eggs. Organic wine. Needs to not be served too cold - no cooler than cellar temperature - otherwise it’s just about the acidity...
