Rounded out a bit since the last bottle a few years ago. This has aged very nicely. Lemon, peach, and a nice long finish. Continued to get better in the fridge for a day or so, now holding steady. Rounder and richer after the air with less of an acidic bite. Yum.

-- cracked and poured -- -- tasted non-blind on Day 1 and again on Day 5 --
NOSE: new carpet smell; faintly tropical and minerally; floral. Day 5: fuller fruit aromas today --- somewhat reminiscent of Chenin – hypothetical Chenin/Sauv. Blanc blend.
BODY: medium golden yellow color; medium-light bodied.
TASTE: some petrol; medium to medium+ acidity; light mineral; very light fruit. Day 5: fruit more present today than on Day 1, otherwise the same. 13.2% alc. not noticeable; more mineral-driven (wooly) than the usual Albarino --- my mind keeps thinking of Savennieres. gut impression score: 87 – 88.
50, 5, 11, 15, 7 = 88

Split the bottle over two nights. The second night was much better than the first. Nice food wine.
