  Only Old Chaps Meeting By the Sea; 2/17/2023-2/19/2023 (Alicante - España): Bottle opened directly before Saturday dinner and served in bowls glasses to allow it to air and show its supposed qualities. Monovarietal of albariño in that Petit Clos range of this winery. It combines aging in oak and cement deposits. On the nose it is an intense wine, with hints of unriped citrus, pear-like white fruit, with a stroke of white pepper. Lack of salinity, loss of elegance in consequence, direct character, an abrupt finish and an absurd dense texture that does not end up being balanced with some citric acidity, are some of its hallmarks on the palate. Without any depth by the way. The comparison with the best Albariños from Rías Baixas in Galicia is ridiculously offensive. Full stop.
  
  Botella abierta directamente antes de empezar la cena del Sábado y servida en copas de balón para permitir que se airee y muestre sus supuestas cualidades. Monovarietal de albariño dentro de la gama Petit Clos de esta bodega. Combina el envejecimiento en roble y en tinajas de cemento. En nariz es un vino intenso, con recuerdos a cítricos sin madurar, a fruta blanca tipo pera, con un golpe de pimienta blanca. Ausencia de salinidad, pérdida de elegancia, carácter directo, un final abrupto y una absurda textura densa que no termina de equilibrarse con la acidez cítrica, son algunas de sus señas de identidad al paladar. Sin profundidad alguna por cierto. La comparación con los mejores Albariños de Rías Baixas en Galicia resulta ridículamente ofensiva. Punto final.
