  A better impression after 10 months of patience.The mineral steelyness is even more prominent and the fruit is more expressive and just plain tasty. There's a slight sweetness that perfectly lends itself to spicier fare and it has a real sense of quality that wasn't so apparent as a baby. 5+11+17+8= 91

  I’d previously enjoyed the 2015 offering of this wine. Displays a very consistent “house style”. Pale lemon green color, lighter body. Fresh, crisp, and lively, displaying pronounced acidity, tart grapefruit, lemon peel, spicy juniper, and mineral saline. Aromatic, flavorful, and precise. Complex. Displays a very long finish. Perfect with the chicken pot pie entrée. An excellent Albariño; one of the better and more consistent in the market.

  Pale lemon color
  Medium plus aromas of citrus/ green apple and white florals with pronounced salinity
  Medium bodied with palate of ripe citrus and more salinity - palate is linear but with rounded edges
  Medium plus acidity and moderate phenolic bitterness and medium alcohol and medium finish
  I like the phenolics here - it appears a little bit of skin contact used to accentuate the Albariño's thicker skin - pretty classic for the region and a little on the ripe side
  Drinking great now but can also hold 2-3 yrs
