  It is some time since I laste tasted this wine, and I remembered it as somewhat heavy. This time - or this bottle - is in another league. The color is just amazing: radiant green gold, I have never seen such a green wine before. Intense nose of green apples, lime, pickeled orange, and a cold, mineral streak. Full bodied attack, lots of green apples and lime on the mid palate beefed up with some lemon peel (almost tannic) tones. Tight and concentrated finsih with green apples and lime sitting for long over a minute. An amazing wine, Why not a higher score? Well, compared to the great wines from burgundy and bdx it lacks some complexity. It is a great wine with food right now, it will keep for at least an decade.

  reticent, but none of the bread crumb notes reminiscint of white bdx that this wine can hit with extreme age, its still in a creamy chablis like state with textural lees and sour cream driving the finish, fantastic wine.

  Wow! After I opened a bottle many years ago I was not impressed, as I remember a tight, not promising win. My second bottle in 2019 was very good, a big change. And now today! What a development! A beautiful seductive wine, still young, apricot, pear, lemon, a nice roundness and still tension with firm acidity. What a surprise, Price/Quality a bargain. 92/93

  Deep straw color, but still with some green stints. Quite astonishing for an Albarino of this age. The nose is somewhat balsamic at first; green olives and dry wood. This soon gives way to a more ripe citrus-like fruit in the vein of orange and pickled lime. A smoky tone comes up as well. Complex. Full bodied attack, oily mouthfeel, orange peel and lime on the midpalate, combining a sweet orange-tinted taste with high acidity. Has an almost Sauternes-like feel in the mouth, but it is bone dry. Very long and lemon-like finish and aftertaste that combines the balsamic/olive notes with an impressing freshness. This wine has been in my cellar for 2-3 years, and there are few signs of fast aging. Drink or keep (for God knows how long). This is perhaps the most impressing vintage of this wine I have tasted, fresher and less heavy than '10 and '11. Look forward to tasting the '12.

  Tasted together with the 2010 and 2011 vintage. This is a rather heavy version of Albarino, almost verging on a sweet wine. Nose dominated by dried apricots, some pineapple and lots of sweet red apples. A petroleum tone emerges after a while in the glass. Full bodied, high acidity, almost sweet apricot fruit reminiscent of Sauternes in the mouth. Long and sweet aftertaste barely balanced by a searing acidity. High extract gives the wine an almost tannic feel. A very special wine. Will probably keep well for many years, but is clearly drinkable now. Drink with food with a heavy, buttery sauce.
