  Bright light gold color. Drank a couple glasses over 2 hours. This was flat out stunning. I was mesmerized from the first sip. The nose is packed with a sublimely complex melange of fruits that constantly make you contemplate what you just percieved only to find yourelf then 2 or 3 fruits down the line. Fresh peach, lychee, mirvelle plum, acacia flowers, Tropical fruits, Meyer lemon, and lime with ocean air and white stones on the effusive nose. The palate brims with energy, bright and crisp with tantalaizing fruits and great cut. The same fruit drives through the palate, adding orange peel, pretty ocean minerality and more subtle brine. This just goes on and on too. This paired great with our Blue Point oysters and Halbut en Papillote tonight. Absolutely fabulous! We had a touch left today, and I think it was even better if that's possible.

  In a great spot, but still feeling pretty young. Aromas of pomelo, lemon, pineapple, white peach, citrus blossom, vague green herbs... Full and pithy, silly and slightly grippy, intense citrus, delicate mineral, floral and herbal tones inform the inner perfume, prominent pithy bitter tones infuse the finish. Long and complex, this stuff rules. Truly awesome Albarino. This will be worth following at least another 5 years.

  This wine is ludicrously versatile with food, given its balance of honey, acid, minerality, and herbaceous notes. I could drink so much of this noble wine.

  Round, textured and grassy. Good quality but vintage after vintage this wine seems to be losing quality.
