(Do Ferriero Albarino "Cepas Vellas") This is unequivocally the best one ever made. This was a remarkable wine. Nose of smoke, seawater, seashells, slight bit of lime zest and fresh raindrops. Lots of evocative minerality. But oceanic minerality. The palate had a crisp, zesty zing with great trocken-like Riesling acidity and a long finish. Smokey on the finish, elegant in the middle and long all the way through. Even better the second day. Came into even better balance from flawless balance. How did it do that? Now that is a parlor trick other wines should learn.

Decent balance but displeasing vegetal quality

This wasn't at the level of the 2007 I had last year, but it's still full of character and there's a definite uptick in expressiveness to show for the 3 or 4 years I've had it in the cellar. It doesn't actually taste any older or deeper, but it's so sandy and crisp and full of seashells it tastes like you're drinking the beach.

Relaxed dinner with old wine/anesthesia mentor (Reno, NV): While the Condrieu of the night was in the big and bold camp... this wine is in the fine and subtle camp. As per previous notes it is a mildly aromatic nose with very light fruit intensity, high minerality, plenty of acidity and fineness. "Very good" wine in a very firm and focused style.

Dark in color, mildly aromatic with plenty of mineral, stone notes in the forefront with background citrus, herbal notes... no oak notes. On the palate the wine is dry, has high acidity, minimal phenolics, low ETOH and low to moderate weight. Wine is on the firm side of the balance spectrum, average length, good intensity, decent length. Certainly has finesse, a fine and firmish texture, good expression of place. If you are looking for minerality, firmness, and focus in an albarino, this is a good bet... not exactly the most 'friendly' albarino out there. Very good to excellent wine IMO that is at its peak and about as good as albarino gets in this style.
