consistent with prior notes. Nice solid albariño that doesn't go flabby after opening. Dry and very crisp, with a bit of apparent sweetness from the floral and fruit notes.

PnP. Had with cheese fondue and Caesar salad. Didn't take a lot of notes.
Nose more floral than fruit. In the mouth strong acidic structure, with floral notes carrying through from nose, plus some minerality. Dry. No phenolic bitterness. Profile held up well as the bottle warmed up to room temperature during dinner; actually opened up some more with temperature. Must have been good because we drank it down pretty quickly; when I went to fill my glass for the last time I noted that DW had taken almost all of the rest with her last pour. So i know that she liked it.
Overall this bottle was a solid albariño. Good QPR at our $13/bottle cost. Rated good (82-84).

A good nose of citrus and flowers. The palate was minerals and lemons, with some tartness that looks for fat in the food. Would pair well with shellfish for that fattiness. Went just fine with the fish and chips I had with it.

Big citrus burst initially but settled down to a nice, well structured drink. Glad we have a few more bottles.

Had at La Camelia. Very well structured with balanced but intense fruit and strong acidic backbone. Went well with the food.
