Drinking really well right now. Kind of like a cross between Sauvignon Blanc and Chablis. Yellow fruit, white florals, minty herbs, saline minerals. Very fresh considering its age. Best over the next 2 years, but can probably hold longer. 92

Saturday night blinds (Chez Nanda, Chicago IL): Nose: The nose is aromatic and favoring the upper-register with pears, green apples, white peaches, minerals, white fruits, and some toast.
Taste: Light bodied with high acidity. The acidity is nearly piercing, but still stays refreshing. While the feel is light, the malo pokes its head with a little bit of creaminess along with pears, green apples, white peaches, and toast notes.
Overall: This is a spot-on Albarino. This was my bottle and it confused a lot of people, but it showed perfectly with racy acidity and fragrant aromas.

Nice richness and depth, clean, crisp, and flavorful, ideal weeknight wine.

Very mineral and awesome acid forward balance. Tangerine to the palate.

Quite refreshing and easy to drink (whoops, what happened to that bottle?) but a little more anonymous than I'd hoped.
