Pretty color, sharp acidity, floral notes and a predominantly lemon flavor ending with a agressive sharpness and almost a gravelly feel. I would buy again, but only at reasonable price.

Opened not decanted. Purchased off the list at Two in SF at an offline. Served chilled. Dry white with a somewhat sour finish. MBC thought this was too sweet. I didn't care for the sour finish. Tasted somewhat like a Sancerre. Not sure the varietal. Fair.

Pale greenish yellow color, with moderate aromas of jasmine flower, stone fruit, and tart green apples. This Albariño is dry, medium heavy bodied, with lively acidity, and long finish. On the palate are flavors of fresh green garden herbs, white nectarine, and granny smith apples. This Albariño is a little richer than others I have tried which might be because it is from the Condado do Tea which is the warmest sub region of Rías Baixas. A beautiful example of the Queen of Spanish white varietals. 3.5/5

No. Nasty sweet plastic fruit, watery. Been spoiled by Do Ferreiro and Pazo de Senorans. This isn't even close to that level.
