Medium golden color; lighter nose than expected. Melon, stone fruit, and honey on the palate, with a somewhat sweet finish. Pairs well with shellfish. Aged well, but probably at its peak in terms of shelf life.

Golden yellow color. Looks old, but not too old. Enticing nose. Medium/full bodied. Substantial citrus. Med+ finish. Really delicious now. Drink now, but will likely hold for a few more years.

This bottling is one of the little miracles in the white wine world, and this vintage proves that it ages beautifully. The golden hues do not foretell any oxidation, but the savory lower tone notes suggest full maturity. An Alvarinho of great complexity and enough freshness to drive through seafood, even sashimi.
